Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2021 ACF ANA NA 1906
The Social and Economic Development Strategies (SEDS) grant is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Administration for Native Americans (ANA). Using FY 2021 funds, SEDS is designed to support community-driven projects that strengthen Native communities by growing local economies, reinforcing family and community well-being, and helping sustain and preserve Native cultures. The underlying problem SEDS is trying to address is the persistent lack of community-based businesses and the social and economic infrastructure needed for long-term stability in many Native communities, which contributes to ongoing social and economic challenges.
SEDS is intended for a broad range of Native American communities, including American Indian tribes (both federally recognized and non-federally recognized), Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Native American Pacific Islanders. The opportunity is structured to encourage projects that are locally led and tailored to community priorities, rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. While projects can vary, the central expectation is that applicants propose practical strategies that build capability and infrastructure within the community, with clear goals, measurable objectives, and a plan for tracking results.
A key feature of the FY 2021 SEDS competition is the emphasis on specific economic development legislative priority areas that stem from the Indian Community Economic Enhancement Act of 2020. ANA signaled that it will prioritize applications that seek help in one or more of the following areas: first, developing or strengthening tribal codes or court systems that support economic development, such as commercial codes, training for court personnel, and creating nonprofit subsidiaries or other tribal business structures; second, developing a Native community development financial institution (CDFI), including costs tied to training and administrative capacity; and third, creating a tribal master plan focused on community and economic development and infrastructure. Applications that directly address one or more of these legislative priority areas can receive a 10-point bonus during review, but only if the priority area is fully integrated throughout the proposal, meaning it is clearly reflected in the project goal, objectives, indicators, project framework, project approach, Objective Work Plan, and Outcome Tracker.
In addition to those economic development priorities, ANA also identified several Native community priority areas based on tribal consultations and engagement across Native communities. For FY 2021, these community priorities include Native Veterans, Emergency Preparedness and Response, and Missing and Murdered Native Americans (MMNA). Similar to the economic development priorities, proposals that focus on one or more of these community priority areas may also receive bonus points if the priority is explicitly built into the project goal, objectives, indicators, framework, work plan, and outcome tracking. There is an extra requirement tied specifically to the Native Veterans priority: to qualify for bonus points under that category, Native Veterans must be named as a target population and be included as participants and/or beneficiaries, not simply referenced in general terms.
From an applicant and funding standpoint, SEDS (CFDA 93.612) allows several types of entities to apply, including federally recognized tribal governments, tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations (both with and without 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education). The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Income Security and Social Services. For FY 2021, the award ceiling is $400,000, and ANA anticipated making about 28 awards. The funding opportunity number is HHS 2021 ACF ANA NA 1906. The original application closing date listed was June 30, 2021, with electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date.
Overall, this SEDS opportunity is best understood as a flexible community development grant that rewards strong planning, measurable outcomes, and alignment with ANA priorities. Applicants that want to be competitive are expected to go beyond broad statements of need and instead present a coherent project design that clearly ties goals, activities, and measurable indicators together, especially when pursuing bonus points under the legislative economic development priorities and/or the Native community priority areas.Apply for HHS 2021 ACF ANA NA 1906
