Opportunity Summary:
The Eldercare Locator grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2013 ACL OEA IR 0040) is a discretionary federal competition run by the U.S. Administration for Community Living (ACL) to fund one organization to operate the Eldercare Locator as a cooperative agreement. The Eldercare Locator is a nationwide service designed to help older adults, as well as their families and caregivers, navigate what can be a confusing mix of aging-related programs and providers. Its core purpose is to connect people to reliable, local support resources so older individuals can remain independent and safe in their homes and communities for as long as possible. Because the award is structured as a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect substantial federal involvement in key aspects of the project, such as planning, performance expectations, coordination, and oversight.
From a programmatic standpoint, the opportunity sits within the “Income Security and Social Services” activity category and is tied to CFDA 93.048 (Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects). The competition anticipates a single award, meaning one lead operator will be responsible for delivering the service at a national scale rather than a patchwork of regional awards. The emphasis on helping users “find their way through the maze of services” signals that the funded operator must be able to maintain an up-to-date understanding of available elder services and provide accurate referrals or connections to appropriate local entities that can directly assist the caller or user.
Funding for the award is substantial for a single-project competition, with an estimated total funding level of $1,428,402. The anticipated award ceiling is $1,428,402 and the floor is $1,200,000, indicating ACL expects proposals within a relatively tight range rather than widely varied budget requests. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants must be prepared to contribute non-federal resources consistent with the announcement’s terms. The grant was posted and created on February 15, 2013, with an application closing date of March 18, 2013. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived on April 17, 2013.
Eligibility is limited to domestic entities and is oriented toward organizations that can credibly operate a national service. Eligible applicants include domestic public or private nonprofit entities, including 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), as well as faith-based organizations and community-based organizations, provided they meet the requirements. A key eligibility theme is “national reach” into all states and also into territories, tribes, and localities. ACL notes that national reach may be achieved directly or through a network of partnerships, which implies that strong collaborative capacity and formal relationships may be important for meeting service coverage expectations. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are explicitly not eligible to apply or receive an award under this announcement.
