Opportunity Summary:
The YouthBuild Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SGA DFA PY 10 02) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA). It makes available up to about $130 million in total funding, although the final total depends on what Congress ultimately appropriates for YouthBuild under the FY 2011 Department of Labor Appropriations Act. The program falls under CFDA 17.274 (YouthBuild) and supports activities in the area of employment, labor, and job training.
Funding for this competition comes from separate appropriations and is intended to be awarded in separate waves. A key piece of the structure is that $30 million in FY 2010 funds is set aside for immediate awards, and that portion is reserved specifically for organizations that did not receive funding in the FY 2009 YouthBuild competition (SGA/DFA PY 08 07). In addition, further awards tied to the FY 2011 appropriation are scheduled to be selected after April 1, 2011, but only if FY 2011 funds become available as anticipated.
ETA expects to make about 128 awards under this announcement. Individual grant awards are projected to range from an award floor of $700,000 to an award ceiling of $1,100,000. Applicants should also plan for a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the grant is not designed to cover 100 percent of program costs and recipients will need to contribute qualifying non-federal resources in line with the program rules.
Eligibility is limited to public or private nonprofit agencies or organizations (with the listing in the announcement indicating that additional eligibility details are provided in a separate text field titled "Additional Information on Eligibility"). The overall purpose of YouthBuild, as reflected in its classification and administering agency, is to support initiatives that combine workforce preparation and training with broader youth-focused development outcomes, typically aimed at improving employability and long-term labor market attachment through structured programming.
The opportunity was posted on October 4, 2010, and applications were due by December 3, 2010. The deadline was firm: applications had to be received by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that date. The listing indicates the opportunity was archived on January 2, 2011, which generally signals that the active application window has closed and the agency has moved into review, selection, and award administration.
