Opportunity Summary:
The Veterans Workforce Investment Program (VWIP) Program Year 2010 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SGA 10 02) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS) under Section 168 of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998. The program is designed to fund projects that help eligible veterans move into employment by offering a mix of workforce-focused assistance such as job placement support, occupational training, supportive services, credentialing help, and access to networking or other employment-related resources. The solicitation emphasizes that applicants should rely on the full Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGA) package for the required forms and instructions, and it notes that amendments could be posted later on Grants.gov and the VETS website, so applicants are expected to monitor both for updates.
Funding for this round was estimated at up to $2,000,000 total, with individual awards expected to range from a $100,000 floor to a $500,000 ceiling. VETS projected about four awards under the solicitation, with the possibility of additional awards depending on the size and mix of requests received. The base period of performance was set for one year, running from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011. The notice also allowed for up to two optional additional years of funding, but only if Congress appropriated funds, the agency chose to exercise the option years, and the grantee (and any sub-awardees) performed satisfactorily. The announcement is clear that timely and accurate reporting matters; weak or late reporting could put optional-year funding at risk.
Eligible applicants are broadly defined but focus on organizations capable of effectively serving the target veteran population and administering federal funds. Applications were accepted from public agencies and nonprofit organizations, including state and local Workforce Investment Boards and faith-based or neighborhood partnerships. The solicitation specifically references higher education institutions and systems such as Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) member institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), land-grant schools, and tribal colleges, as long as they demonstrate familiarity with the area and population served and the ability to run an effective program. The eligibility section also points to other potentially eligible entities such as joint labor-management training programs, representatives of local governments, conservation corps, community colleges, and small businesses. Applicants were encouraged to build partnerships with State and Local Workforce Investment Boards established under WIA Sections 111 and 117, signaling that alignment with the public workforce system was an important feature of competitive proposals.
The notice includes several important restrictions and compliance expectations. Applicants must pass a "responsibility review" demonstrating they can manage federal funds (referencing 20 CFR 667.170). Nonprofits claiming 501(c)(3) status were required to provide IRS documentation confirming that status. Organizations described under Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(4) that engage in lobbying are not eligible for award under this announcement due to restrictions tied to the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995. In addition, entities that are debarred or suspended are ineligible under federal assistance rules (29 CFR Part 98). The opportunity was categorized under Employment, Labor, and Training, and is associated with CFDA 17.802 (Veterans Employment Program). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed.
Key dates for the competition were straightforward: it was posted March 26, 2010 (created March 25, 2010) with an application deadline of April 26, 2010, and an archive date of May 26, 2010. Applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically were directed to contact Cassandra Mitchell, Grants Management Specialist, at 202-693-4570 or mitchell.cassandra@dol.gov.
