Opportunity Summary:
The National Resource Center on Women and Retirement Planning is a federal discretionary grant opportunity from the Administration on Aging (AoA) within the Administration for Community Living (ACL). ACL/AoA planned to make a single award as a cooperative agreement to establish and operate a National Resource Center focused on improving women s retirement security, with a strong emphasis on reaching low income women, women of color, and women with limited English proficiency. The intent is to strengthen older adults ability to protect their finances and maintain independence in later life by reducing exposure to fraud and elder financial exploitation and by expanding access to practical retirement and financial planning information.
Under this opportunity, the selected grantee would partner closely with ACL/AoA and support the National Network on Aging, a large nationwide system led by AoA that includes 56 State Units on Aging, 655 Area Agencies on Aging, 239 Tribal and Native organizations, roughly 29,000 service providers, and many volunteers delivering home and community based services. The Resource Center s role is to help this network integrate basic financial literacy and retirement planning concepts into the day to day work of Older Americans Act programs, so that trusted community touchpoints can more consistently deliver guidance and prevention strategies to older women and their families. In practical terms, the Center is expected to identify needs, develop strategies, and translate them into tools, training, and technical assistance that can be used broadly across states, regions, and diverse communities.
A major feature of the project is building and distributing user friendly, culturally and linguistically appropriate materials on retirement planning, consumer protection, and fraud prevention. The Center is expected to function as a national clearinghouse, meaning it would curate, adapt, and disseminate reliable resources rather than producing everything from scratch, while also responding to emerging issues and trends in financial exploitation and economic insecurity. The announcement highlights using current technology to package information in accessible formats, with specific attention to reaching disadvantaged populations and ensuring materials work for people who may have limited English proficiency or limited access to traditional financial services.
The award uses a cooperative agreement mechanism because AoA intended to be substantially involved in shaping and carrying out the work. AoA s responsibilities include collaborating on the Center s work plan, serving as liaison to the National Network on Aging, providing technical guidance on selecting and developing financial and retirement planning materials for women, and consulting on emerging issues, potential partners, feasible strategies, and national level impact. The cooperative agreement would also spell out program requirements and performance measures, along with the training, technical assistance, and support that AoA and the Center would deliver.
Funding was set at up to 244,314 in federal support per year for up to three years, contingent on available federal funds, with the posted total annual figure effectively serving as both the ceiling and floor for the award. Cost sharing is required: applicants must contribute at least 25 percent of total project costs using non federal resources. Only one award was anticipated, so the competition was structured around selecting a single organization capable of providing services nationwide and maintaining a strong professional presence and credibility in this subject area.
Eligibility was broad across domestic public or private nonprofit entities, including state, local, and Tribal governments, faith based and community based organizations, hospitals, and higher education institutions. However, applicants had to demonstrate deep knowledge and a proven track record in financial literacy and retirement education, women s economic security, and effective communication with the priority populations named in the announcement on a nationwide basis. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships were not eligible.
Key administrative details in the posting include Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2013 ACL AOA PN 0058 under CFDA 93.048, categorized under Income Security and Social Services. The announcement was posted April 30, 2013, with an application deadline of May 30, 2013 at 11:59 p.m. ET, and an archive date of July 1, 2013. A related information link was provided through ACL s funding opportunity page, and a point of contact was listed for access issues with the full announcement.
