Additional Information on Eligibility:
To be eligible to apply for these grants, applicants must fall into one of two categories: (1) national entities; or (2) local entities.
1. National Entities :For the purposes of this SGA, applicants qualify as national entities if they are private nonprofit organizations that have the following characteristics: (a) they deliver services through networks of local affiliates, coalition members, or other established partners (such as a network of affiliated community or faith-based organizations); and (b) their local affiliates, coalition members, or other established partners have the ability to provide services in 4 or more States. These entities, along with their partners, are expected to implement projects in multiple communities across the country. In order to apply as a national entity, an applicant must propose a project that serves communities (see Section III.C.2 for the definition of community) located in at least 2 States, with a minimum of 1 community located in each State, and a range of 3-7 total communities served. (For the purposes of this SGA, the term “State” means each of the 50 States of the United States, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories as defined in Section VI.B.2.iv). By serving a range of 3-7 total communities, national applicants can ensure that each community has adequate funding to implement training and job placement programs. National entities will be required to fund sub-grants or sub-contracts in each designated community, through which the local affiliates, coalition members, or other established partners will implement each project in collaboration with the required partners detailed in Section III.A.3.i.
2. Local Entities: For the purposes of this SGA, applicants qualify as local entities if they are public organizations (such as community colleges or workforce investment boards) or private nonprofit organizations (such as community or faith-based organizations) whose service area is limited to a single sub-State geographic area, such as a neighborhood, city, county, sub-State region, or interstate region comprised of multiple sub-State regions (such as Kansas City). In order to apply as a local entity, an applicant must propose a project that serves one single community (see Section III.C.2 for the definition of community). Local entities must implement the project in collaboration with the required partners detailed in Section III.A.3.i. A local entity that receives an award under this SGA may not receive sub-grant or sub-contract funding through a grant awarded to a national entity under this SGA.
