Opportunity Summary:
Social and Economic Development Strategies for Alaska (SEDS AK) was a Fiscal Year 2015 discretionary grant opportunity offered by the Administration for Native Americans (ANA) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The program was built around supporting new, community-based projects in Alaska Native communities, with a clear emphasis on locally driven planning and implementation rather than outside-directed solutions. At its core, the opportunity sought to help communities grow and diversify local economies, strengthen Alaska Native families, and support the preservation and continuation of Alaska Native cultures. It also specifically aimed to reduce persistent challenges linked to limited community-based businesses and gaps in local social and economic infrastructure, recognizing that economic stability, family well-being, and cultural continuity are closely connected in many rural and remote Alaska settings.
The funding category aligned with income security and social services, and awards were structured to support practical development efforts at the community level. ANA expected to make about 8 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding level of $1,000,000. Individual grant awards were anticipated to range from a floor of $50,000 up to a ceiling of $200,000, indicating projects could be modest pilots or more robust multi-component initiatives, as long as they stayed within the program limits and expectations. The opportunity carried a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants needed to contribute non-federal resources or documented match as defined in the full FOA, which is often used to demonstrate local investment and increase the likelihood that activities can continue after the grant ends.
Eligible applicants included federally recognized Alaska Native tribal governments, other Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), certain nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and other entities as further clarified in the FOA. A key eligibility condition applied to non-federally recognized applicants: they had to provide proof that a majority of their governing board members were representative of the Alaska Native community to be served. This requirement reinforced the program's focus on accountability to the community and ensuring that funded activities are led and overseen by people with direct ties to the community's needs and priorities. Individuals, including sole proprietorships, and foreign entities were explicitly ineligible and would be disqualified from review and funding.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted on December 22, 2014, and applications were due by March 25, 2015, with electronic submissions required by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date. The funding opportunity number was HHS-2015-ACF-ANA-NK-0960, and it fell under CFDA 93.612 (Native American Programs). For applicants needing access help with the full announcement, ACF provided support through its Applications Help Desk (appsupport@acf.hhs.gov). The official announcement and details were made available through ACF's grants site, which included the full FOA language describing allowable activities, matching rules, evaluation criteria, and required application components.
