Opportunity Summary:
The Social and Economic Development Strategies (SEDS) grant is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the Administration for Native Americans (ANA) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), using Fiscal Year 2015 funds to support community-based, community-driven projects in Native American communities. The purpose of the program is to help communities build and sustain stronger local economies, improve social and economic conditions, and strengthen Native American families. A central feature of SEDS is that it is not designed as a one-size-fits-all program; it emphasizes locally defined priorities and strategies, including efforts that support and preserve Native American cultures. The overall focus is on reducing persistent challenges that many communities face due to limited community-based businesses and gaps in social and economic infrastructure.
In practical terms, the opportunity targets projects that can expand economic activity and community capacity, such as initiatives that encourage entrepreneurship, workforce development tied to real local opportunities, and community planning or infrastructure-related efforts that help create a foundation for longer-term economic stability. While the announcement does not list every allowable project type in the summary text provided, the stated intent makes clear that ANA is looking for proposals that respond to locally identified needs and that can show a credible path toward measurable improvements in economic and family well-being, including culturally grounded approaches where relevant.
