Opportunity Summary:
The Tribal Title IV E Plan Development Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2010-ACF-ACYF-CS-0048) is a discretionary, one-time grant program from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families. Its goal is to help Indian Tribes, Tribal organizations, and Tribal consortia do the up-front planning work needed to build a federally approved Title IV-E program. Specifically, awardees are expected to develop and, within 24 months of receiving the grant, submit to HHS a Title IV-E plan that would allow the Tribe (or Tribal entity) to operate a foster care and adoption assistance program and, if they choose, a guardianship assistance program under Title IV-E.
Grant funds are intended to cover the practical and technical costs of preparing a Title IV-E plan under Section 471 of the Social Security Act in order to carry out a program authorized by Section 479B. The announcement highlights that funds may be used for key readiness activities that often require significant infrastructure and coordination, such as designing or improving data collection and reporting systems, developing a cost allocation plan, and establishing or refining agency procedures and Tribal court procedures. A major emphasis is ensuring the Tribe can meet federal case review system requirements referenced in Section 475(5) of the Act, along with any other plan requirements needed for HHS approval. In other words, this funding is not primarily for delivering foster care services immediately; it is for building the policy, procedural, administrative, court-related, and systems foundation that makes a compliant Title IV-E program possible.
The program anticipated making about five awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,500,000. The maximum award amount (ceiling) is $300,000, and there is no stated minimum award (floor of $0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial barrier for eligible Tribal applicants that are ready to invest staff time and leadership attention into plan development.
Eligibility is limited to Indian Tribes, Tribal organizations, and Tribal consortia, using the definitions in Section 4 of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 450b), and consistent with the Tribal Title IV-E authority cited in Sections 479B(a) and 476(c)(2)(A)(iii). Individuals and foreign entities are not eligible. The funding activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services, and the CFDA number provided is 93.658 (Foster Care, Title IV-E).
The timeline in the record notes that the announcement was posted March 23, 2010, and later modified. The key modification is the application due date change: the current closing date is August 2, 2010 (replacing the original closing date of June 21, 2010). For applications submitted electronically through Grants.gov, submissions had to be received no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date is September 1, 2010, indicating the opportunity is no longer open after that point.
