This grant is for establishing Regional Performance and Innovation Consortia (RPIs) across ten ACF Regions. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF)’s Office of Community Services (OCS) will fund these RPIs to serve as regional hubs for Training and Technical Assistance (T/TA) capacity-building activities. Each RPI will coordinate efforts to strengthen State Associations’ ability to leverage resources, foster relationships with State CSBG Lead Agencies, and enhance their capacity to meet the T/TA needs of CSBG-eligible entities. RPIs will provide essential T/TA coordination and information dissemination. Grantees, typically single State Associations, will be selected competitively based on their expertise in regional T/TA and non-profit management. RPIs must dedicate funds to support State Associations’ capacity-building and exemplary practices, acting as fiscal agents and providing technical assistance to ensure continued development and sustainability within the community services sector.

However, State associations in each region may coordinate efforts and apply as consortia. If multiple applications are received from a region, the selected grantee will be required to provide a plan for OCS approval to coordinate technical assistance with all State associations in the region and provide sub-awards as described below. Priority is given to applicant organizations with proven expertise in capacity-building, non-profit management and the provision of T/TA related to the core functions.

Sub-awards RPIs will offer financial support (i.e. sub-award) to State Associations in an amount representing at least $250,000 of the total Federal funds requested to some subset of the State Associations receiving T/TA. RPI Consortia will be required to provide capacity support of at least $25,000 to all State Associations in their defined geographic area that can demonstrate membership or letters of support from the majority of CSBG-eligible entities in the State. In addition, RPI applicants will propose a process to support additional sub-awards for exemplary practice development among the State associations in the region. RPIs must be the planner, fiscal agent, monitor, and technical assistance provider for the sub-awardees. |
