Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Special Olympics, Inc" (Funding Opportunity Number HQ0034 11 1 0005), was a congressionally directed assistance award administered by the U.S. Department of Defense. It was issued as an earmark-style grant under CFDA 12.599, identified as "Congressionally Directed Assistance," and it falls under the funding activity category of Income Security and Social Services. The legal authority cited for the award was Section 8079 of the Department of Defense Appropriation Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 112-10), which specifically directed funding to Special Olympics, Inc.
The funding structure was straightforward and tightly defined. The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with an estimated total funding amount of $1,200,000. Both the award ceiling and award floor were set at exactly $1,200,000, meaning there was no funding range and no variability in the award size. There was also no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient was not required to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant.
Eligibility was effectively limited by design. While the listing shows "Eligible Applicants: Others," the accompanying eligibility language clarifies that the funding was congressionally directed to Special Olympics, Inc. In practical terms, that means this was not a competitive grant open to the general public; it was a directed allocation intended for that named organization under the cited appropriations authority.
In terms of timing and lifecycle, the opportunity was posted and created on August 12, 2011. The original closing date and the current closing date were both August 31, 2011, indicating no extension or change to the application deadline. The opportunity was archived on September 30, 2011, which typically signals that the application window had closed and the listing was moved out of active status.
