Under this NOFA, Treasury announces the availability of up to $66,290,000 for payments for successful outcomes of social impact partnership projects through grants to State and local governments, and, for project evaluations, the availability of up to approximately $9,940,000. All awards provided through this NOFA are subject to funding availability.
As stated in SIPPRA, the purposes of SIPPRA are:
(1) To improve the lives of families and individuals in need;
(2) To redirect funds away from programs that, based on objective data, are ineffective, and into programs that achieve demonstrable, measurable results;
(3) To ensure federal funds are used effectively on social services to produce positive outcomes for both service recipients and taxpayers;
(4) To establish the use of social impact partnerships to address some of the Nation’s most pressing problems;
(5) To facilitate the creation of public-private partnerships that bundle philanthropic or other private resources with existing public spending to scale up effective social interventions already being implemented;
(6) To bring pay for performance to the social sector, allowing the United States to improve the impact and effectiveness of vital social services programs while redirecting inefficient or duplicative spending; and
(7) To incorporate outcomes measurement and randomized controlled trials or other rigorous methodologies for assessing program impact.
