Opportunity Summary:
The Social and Economic Development Strategies for Alaska (SEDS AK) grant opportunity is a discretionary federal grant program offered by the Administration for Native Americans (ANA), which sits within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. For Fiscal Year 2009, the program made funding available for new, community-based projects in Alaska that are designed to strengthen children, families, and communities. The emphasis is on locally driven efforts carried out through Tribes, Alaska Native Village governments, and other community-based Native organizations that can show they have a practical plan to build social and economic well-being at the community level.
The announcement (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2009-ACF-ANA-NK-0041; CFDA 93.612, Native American Programs) anticipated making about 7 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $1,000,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $25,000 up to a ceiling of $175,000. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Income Security and Social Services, reflecting the program's focus on community strengthening and related supports rather than, for example, infrastructure construction.
A key feature of this opportunity is that it requires cost sharing or matching, meaning applicants must provide a non-federal share (NFS) as part of the total project budget. The posted notice includes a specific modification meant to correct a budgeting example in the program announcement. The original text described the non-federal share using incorrect figures, stating that the federal request amount and total project costs were both $125,000 with a non-federal share of $25,000. The correction clarifies that the federal request amount should be $100,000 in that example, which aligns the math so that a $25,000 non-federal share would bring the total project cost to $125,000. In practical terms, the modification matters because it affects how applicants should structure their budgets and document matching contributions so the totals and percentages are calculated correctly and meet the program rules.
Eligibility is centered on Alaska Native and Tribal entities and Native-led nonprofits with community-specific projects. Eligible applicants include federally recognized Indian Tribes in Alaska; Alaska Native Villages as defined in the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act; nonprofit Village consortia (incorporated as nonprofits); nonprofit Alaska Native multi-purpose community-based organizations; nonprofit Alaska Native Regional Corporations or Associations in Alaska when proposing Village-specific projects; and other nonprofit Native organizations in Alaska with Village-specific projects. The notice also states that faith-based and community organizations are eligible to apply. Foreign entities are not eligible under this announcement. This eligibility framing signals that ANA is looking for organizations with strong community ties and a clear connection to Alaska Native communities, especially when projects are targeted at specific Villages.
Timing and submission rules are clearly defined. The opportunity was posted on December 5, 2008, with an original and current closing date of March 25, 2009, and an archive date of April 24, 2009. For electronic submissions through Grants.gov, applications had to be submitted by no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, which is a firm cutoff that often determines whether an application is accepted for review. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement online, the contact point provided was the ACF Applications Help Desk (appsupport@acf.hhs.gov).
Overall, FY 2009 SEDS AK funding was positioned as competitive support for Alaska Native and Tribal community organizations to carry out practical, community-based strategies that strengthen families and community well-being, with a clear expectation that applicants contribute a non-federal matching share and that budgets reflect the corrected federal-versus-total cost calculation described in the modification.
