Opportunity Summary:
The Eldercare Locator grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2010 AOA IR 1006) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Administration on Aging to keep the ElderCare Locator operating as a national service that connects older adults and their caregivers with local, community-based supports. The program is designed to function as a practical referral and information hub, helping people find services in their area that address common aging-related needs, such as home and community-based assistance, caregiver support, transportation options, benefits counseling, nutrition services, and other long-term services and supports. The core purpose is not research or direct service delivery by the grantee itself, but the continued operation and management of a centralized navigation resource that routes individuals to appropriate local providers and agencies.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have an active partnership role in the project rather than providing funds with minimal involvement. In practice, that usually includes ongoing coordination with the Administration on Aging on performance expectations, service standards, reporting, and overall operation of the Locator so that it remains consistent, reliable, and aligned with federal aging-services networks. The funding activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services under CFDA 93.048 (Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects), placing it within the broader federal framework that supports services and systems benefiting older Americans.
Funding for this competition was set at a total of $1,450,000, and the announcement indicates one expected award. The award floor and ceiling are both $1,450,000, which signals that the program intended to fund a single operator at that fixed amount for the budget period covered by the announcement. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the successful applicant would need to contribute non-federal resources toward the project in line with the terms described in the full announcement, typically through cash or allowable in-kind support.
Eligibility is broad but focused on organizations capable of operating a national-level information and referral service. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, city or township governments, county governments, state governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The eligibility notes further clarify that the competition is open to national public and private nonprofit agencies and organizations, including faith-based and community-based organizations, which suggests the program sought an entity with strong nationwide reach, technical capacity (such as call center and web referral infrastructure), and established relationships across aging-services networks.
Key administrative details include an original posting date of January 28, 2010, with an application closing date of March 29, 2010, and an archive date of April 28, 2010. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Sherri Clark (Sherri Clark@aoa.hhs.gov), listed under grants policy. The announcement also provided an additional information link through the Administration on Aging funding page.
