Opportunity Summary:
The Social and Economic Development Strategies (SEDS) grant opportunity is a discretionary 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, ANA announced funding for new, community-based projects designed to strengthen children, families, and communities. The overall intent of the program is to support efforts that move Native communities toward long-term economic and social self-sufficiency, with a clear focus on practical, locally driven strategies led by community-based organizations, Tribes, and Alaska Native Village governments.
SEDS is aimed specifically at serving American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and other Native American Pacific Islanders, including American Samoa Natives. The program emphasizes strengthening community conditions in ways that help families and children thrive, while also building local capacity and resilience. Although the announcement does not list every allowable project model in the excerpt provided, the framing makes it clear that ANA is looking for projects that are rooted in community priorities and that measurably advance social and economic development in Native communities.
Funding for this opportunity was substantial. The estimated total funding available was $14,000,000, with an expectation of about 80 awards. Individual awards could range from a minimum (floor) of $25,000 up to a maximum (ceiling) of $500,000, depending on the scope and scale of the proposed project. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is classified under Income Security and Social Services (CFDA 93.612, Native American Programs).
A key feature of this grant is that it requires cost sharing or matching, meaning applicants must contribute a non-federal share (NFS) toward total project costs. The announcement includes an important modification intended to correct confusion in the matching calculation guidance. The original program announcement mistakenly used figures that did not align: it described a scenario where both the federal request and total project costs were $125,000, while also stating the non-federal share would be $25,000. That math does not work because total project costs should equal the federal share plus the non-federal share. The correction clarifies that, in the example, the federal request should be $100,000 (not $125,000). With total project costs of $125,000, a $100,000 federal request would then correctly pair with a $25,000 non-federal share.
Eligibility is broad within Native-serving and Native-governed institutions and organizations, covering federally recognized Tribes and Tribal consortia, incorporated non-federally recognized Tribes, and incorporated non-profit, multipurpose, community-based Indian organizations. It also includes Urban Indian Centers and national or regional incorporated non-profit Native American organizations with Native community-specific objectives. For Alaska, eligible applicants include Alaska Native Villages as defined in the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, non-profit village consortia, incorporated non-profit Alaska Native multipurpose community-based organizations, and Alaska Native Regional Corporations or Associations when proposing village-specific projects, as well as other non-profit Native organizations in Alaska with village-specific projects. For Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander communities, eligible applicants include public and non-profit private agencies serving Native Hawaiians, and public and non-profit private agencies serving Native peoples from Guam, American Samoa, or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, whether the populations served are located on the islands or in the United States. Tribally controlled community colleges, tribally controlled postsecondary vocational institutions, and colleges and universities in Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands that serve Native Pacific Islanders are also eligible, along with non-profit Alaska Native community entities or Tribal governing bodies recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (including IRA or Traditional Councils). Faith-based and community organizations may apply, but foreign entities are not eligible.
The opportunity was posted on December 5, 2008, with an original and current closing date of March 25, 2009. Applications submitted electronically through Grants.gov were required to be submitted by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The listing was archived on April 24, 2009.
