Grant Description

Cooperative agreement to a USA nonprofit, statewide, local, community, or faith-based organization to provide training related to legal aspects of organizational effectiveness. Applicants are advised that required registrations may take several weeks to complete. Funding is intended for collaborative work that creates pathways out of poverty for vulnerable communities.

This NOFO calls for a concerted and coordinated effort to build capacity, strengthen organizational performance, and increase the impact of CSBG funding and CSBG award recipients by providing targeted and relevant legal T/TA. By design, legal T/TA efforts will identify and focus on organizational, fiscal, and governance challenges. Meeting these T/TA needs will help ensure the success of the CSBG Network.

The award recipient will be required to provide planned and ad hoc high-quality, tailored T/TA and consultation and develop, implement, and disseminate T/TA resources and tools that address the three objectives described below. As needed, the award recipient will develop resources and tools that address the T/TA needs of public and private CSBG-eligible entities.

Promoting Promising Legal Practices and Policies
Enhancing Knowledge Management, Education, and Training
Improving Organizational Stability and Capacity Building

Organizations must have an active System for Award (SAM) registration which provides a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), and Grants.gov account to apply for grants. Creating a Grants.gov account can be completed online in minutes, but SAM registration may take several weeks. Therefore, an organization’s registration should be done in sufficient time to ensure it does not impact the entities ability to meet required application submission deadlines: https://sam.gov/content/home

The budget for the project must include funding for travel for one key staff member to attend and present at a T/TA conference in Washington, DC, during each year of the award.
