Opportunity Summary:
The Social and Economic Development Strategies (SEDS) Special Initiative was a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Administration for Native Americans (ANA), using Fiscal Year 2010 funds. The central goal of this program was to support community-based projects that strengthen Native communities by advancing economic and social self-sufficiency. In practical terms, the funding was aimed at initiatives that improve conditions for children and families while also helping communities build the capacity, systems, and locally driven strategies needed for long-term stability and growth. The opportunity was framed broadly around “income security and social services,” which signals that projects could focus on both economic development and community well-being, as long as they aligned with ANA’s emphasis on self-determination and sustainable community outcomes.
This specific funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2010-ACF-ANA-NS-0041) anticipated making about 15 awards, supported by an estimated total program funding amount of $2.1 million. Individual grant awards were expected to fall between $50,000 (award floor) and $149,999 (award ceiling). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning applicants needed to contribute some portion of project resources from non-federal sources, as required by the program rules and as described in the full announcement. The assistance listing associated with this program was CFDA 93.612 (Native American Programs), which is commonly used for ANA-funded work supporting Native community development.
Eligibility was intentionally wide within Native-serving and Native-governed organizations. Eligible applicants included federally recognized tribal governments and tribal organizations, as well as consortia of Indian tribes, incorporated non-federally recognized tribes, and urban Indian centers. Alaska-specific entities were also explicitly included, such as Alaska Native villages as defined by the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act and nonprofit village consortia, along with nonprofit Alaska Native community entities or tribal governing bodies (including IRA or traditional councils) recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. In addition, tribally controlled community colleges and tribally controlled postsecondary vocational institutions were eligible. The announcement also allowed nonprofit organizations representing American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and other Native American Pacific Islanders, including communities in American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Faith-based and other community organizations were also eligible to apply under this announcement, as long as they met the program’s eligibility requirements and served the intended populations.
Key timeline details were straightforward: the opportunity was posted March 4, 2010, and the application deadline was April 9, 2010, with the archive date listed as May 9, 2010. For applicants submitting through Grants.gov, the notice emphasized a firm electronic submission cutoff of 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, which is important because missing that time window can result in an application being rejected as late even if it was started earlier. For those needing help accessing the full announcement or having technical issues, the contact listed was the ACF Applications Help Desk (appsupport@acf.hhs.gov). The full announcement was referenced through an ACF link, which would typically include the complete project requirements, allowable activities, match details, evaluation criteria, and submission instructions.
