Opportunity Summary:
The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Indian and Native American Employment and Training Programs grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SGA DFA PY 09 04) was a discretionary, competitive funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Employment and Training Administration. It laid out the final grantee award procedures for Program Years (PY) 2010 and 2011 and made available an estimated total of about 67,000,000 dollars to support employment and training services for Indian and Native American adults and youth. The intent of the funding was to strengthen workforce participation and improve employment outcomes in Native communities by financing job training, employment-related services, and program supports delivered by eligible Native-serving entities.
Funding was split into two main components: approximately 53,000,000 dollars for Comprehensive Services and about 14,000,000 dollars for Supplemental Youth Services. The Comprehensive Services portion generally refers to broader workforce services that can serve adults and youth, while the Supplemental Youth Services portion specifically targets younger participants with additional resources focused on youth employment and training needs. Awards were structured as two-year grants, meaning grantees would operate under a two-year performance and funding period tied to the PY 2010 and PY 2011 cycle.
The opportunity anticipated making roughly 179 awards, reflecting an intent to fund a relatively large number of grantees across many service areas rather than only a small set of large projects. Individual award sizes were bounded by an award floor of 1,073,000 dollars and an award ceiling of 5,800,000 dollars, indicating that proposed projects needed to be substantial enough to operate a meaningful workforce program but were also capped to encourage a distribution of funds across multiple Native-serving jurisdictions and organizations. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowered the barrier to participation for eligible entities that might not have significant non-federal funding available.
Eligibility was intentionally focused on Native governance and Native-controlled service organizations consistent with WIA Section 166. Entities potentially eligible to apply included Federally recognized Indian Tribes; tribal organizations as defined in 25 U.S.C. 450b; Alaska Native controlled organizations representing regional or village areas as defined under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act; Native Hawaiian controlled entities; and other Native American controlled organizations serving Indians. The announcement also recognized state-recognized tribal organizations serving individuals who were eligible to participate under Section 401 of the Job Training Partnership Act as of August 6, 1998. Consortia were allowed as applicants as long as each participating member individually met the eligibility criteria. In addition, community-based and faith-based organizations could apply if they were Native American, Alaska Native, or Native Hawaiian controlled, consistent with WIA Section 166(c) and implementing regulations at 20 CFR 668.200(c) and (d). The governing statutory and regulatory references cited for eligibility and awards included WIA Sections 166(b)(1), (c)(1), and (d)(2)(B) and 20 CFR 668.200.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted on March 12, 2010, with an application closing date of April 12, 2010, and an archive date of May 12, 2010. The funding instrument was a grant, the activity category was Employment, Labor and Training, and the CFDA number associated with the program was 17.265 (Native American Employment and Training). The announcement provided a point of contact for access and administrative questions: Serena Boyd, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-693-3338, particularly for applicants who had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically.
In practical terms, this grant competition was designed to select and fund organizations that could demonstrate the ability to operate effective employment and training programs tailored to Native communities, using federal WIA Section 166 resources over a two-year period. The scale of funding, the number of anticipated awards, and the dedicated youth set-aside reflect a program structure aimed at both broad workforce service coverage and targeted support for youth career development within Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian populations.
