Prject Backgrund and Gals In 2015, JFNA received a grant frm the U.S. Administratin fr Cmmunity Living/Administratin n Aging (ACL/AA) fr the purpse f advancing persn-centered, trauma-infrmed (PCTI) supprtive services fr Hlcaust survivrs living in the United States. This new prgram is anticipated t last five years subject t the availability f federal funds each year. JFNA will use the grant and additinal funds raised thrugh private philanthrpy t: Prmte lcal PCTI innvatins fr Hlcaust survivrs using the RFP prcess; and Build natinal capacity t prvide PCTI-based services t Hlcaust survivrs thrugh cnference calls and webinars n Hlcaust and PCTI-related issues, the establishment f a natinal technical assistance website, and nging cnsultatin with grantees n the implementatin, evaluatin, disseminatin, and sustainability f their lcal PCTIbased prjects. Thrughut JFNA s five year grant perid, the Center fr Advancing Hlcaust Survivr Care expects t supprt and disseminate innvative PCTI mdels and t increase the capacity f the Aging Services Netwrk t prvide PCTI supprtive services t Hlcaust survivrs and ther victims f trauma. JFNA plans fr the fllwing utcme t emerge frm this system-level change: The PCTI services apprach will becme the nrmative strategy fr serving and supprting Hlcaust survivrs within the aging services system. Expected grantee utcmes include the incrpratin f PCTI-based services fr Hlcaust survivrs int agency peratins, increased capacity t serve and supprt Hlcaust survivrs and ther victims f trauma using PCTI-based principles, increased capacity t engage in the develpment, implementatin, and evaluatin f innvatins fr ther vulnerable lder adult ppulatins, and increased leadership skills and recgnitin in the cmmunity as a leader n Hlcaust survivr supprtive services and trauma-infrmed care. 4.

Grant Size Categries As a result f JFNA s successful natinal funding effrts and the award f the federal grant, JFNA anticipates allcating $2.8 millin in Year 1. The award funds will cme frm bth federal gvernment and JFNA surces. JFNA will award grants in tw funding categries. Large Grants ($100,000 - $500,000) Small Grants ($15,000 - $75,000) The grant pl is limited, and few prpsals will receive funding. Furthermre, few awards will be made at the highest award levels in each funding categry. Please plan prpsal budgets and prgrams accrdingly. 5

6 Large Grant ($100,000 - $500,000) Characteristics and Uses JFNA expects t fund up t 15 prpsals in this funding categry in a range f sizes t equal apprximately 80% f the ttal available funding. Agencies applying fr grants in this funding categry must be recipient agencies f the Cnference n Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Cnference) and currently prvide services t Hlcaust survivrs using funds frm the Claims Cnference. Large grants may be apprpriate fr rganizatins serving many Hlcaust survivrs, rganizatins with waiting lists, r rganizatins with Hlcaust survivrs in the cmmunity whse needs are nt being met. Large grants may als supprt areas with high ptential fr imprvements in PCTI care. Grantees in this funding categry will be expected t design, implement, test, and evaluate ne r mre PCTI innvatins develped thrugh this grant. These prgrams can address different ppulatins served, different pririty service categries, r different integratins f the PCTI apprach. If multiple prgrams r innvatins are prpsed, applicants shuld indicate which prgrams r innvatins are mst imprtant t their agencies in the event that full funding is nt available. Small Grant ($15,000 - $75,000) Characteristics and Uses JFNA expects t fund up t 15 prpsals in this funding categry in a range f sizes t equal apprximately 20% f the available funding. Agencies applying fr grants in this funding categry are nt required t be, but can be, recipient agencies f the Claims Cnference. Small grants may be apprpriate fr agencies serving fewer survivrs. JFNA anticipates that these funds may be used t increase utreach t survivrs. Small grants may als supprt areas with high ptential fr imprvements in PCTI care. Small grants may als be apprpriate fr agencies serving large numbers f survivrs if there is a discrete prject that wuld benefit frm this funding level. Grantees in this funding categry will be expected t design, implement, test, and evaluate ne PCTI innvatin develped thrugh this grant. 6

7 6. Match Requirements Large Grant Match Requirements Grantees in this funding categry are required t cntribute matching funds at a 3:2 rati. Fr every $3 f federal grant mney received, grantees will be expected t cntribute $2. Fr example, an agency applying fr a grant f $120,000 will be expected t cntribute $80,000 in matching funds, bringing the ttal prgram budget t $200,000. Large Grant Match Requirement examples: JFNA/Federal Prtin (60%) Grantee Match (40%) Ttal Prject Budget (100%) (highest level pssible) $500,000 $333,333 $833,333 $420,000 $280,000 $700,000 $300,000 $200,000 $500,000 $240,000 $160,000 $400,000 $180,000 $120,000 $300,000 $120,000 $80,000 $200,000 Fr a large grant, funding fr the match must be new, and at least 50% must be in cash. The rest f the match can be made up f new in-kind resurces, but matches made up entirely f cash are preferred. Small Grant Match Requirements Grantees in this funding categry are required t cntribute matching funds at a 3:1 rati. Fr every $3 f federal grant mney received, grantees will be expected t cntribute $1. Fr example, an agency applying fr a grant f $75,000 will be expected t cntribute $25,000 bringing the ttal prgram budget t $100,000. Small Grant Match Requirement examples: JFNA/Federal Prtin (75%) Grantee Match (25%) Ttal Prject Budget (100%) (highest level pssible) $75,000 $25,000 $100,000 $56,250 $18,750 $75,000 $37,500 $12,500 $50,000 $ 30,000 $10,000 $40,000 $15,000 $5,000 $20,000 While new cash funding is the preferred surce f the match, fr small grants an agency can als satisfy the match with new in-kind cntributins. 7

8 Elements f the Match Cmmn t Bth Funding Categries Subject t availability f federal funds and cmpliance with all requirements, the intent is fr prpsals that receive funding in Year 1 t receive funding in Year 2 at half the funding level.

Pssible surces f the match include, but are nt limited t: Philanthrpy Fundatins Jewish Federatins Lcal r State gvernment funds fr Hlcaust survivr services The match must cnstitute new resurces fr the rganizatin within the prgrammatic fiscal year f these sub-grants (February 1, 2016 January 31, 2017). Limited exceptin t the abve requirement that the matching funds must be cmprised f entirely new mney: If the grantee is in the middle f a multi-year prgrammatic grant r typically receives an allcatin fr cre-perating supprt, that grant r allcatin cannt be diverted t be used as the matching funds fr this prgram. Hwever, new funding received by the rganizatin within the rganizatin s current fiscal year that includes at least fur mnths f JFNA s prgrammatic fiscal year fr these grants (February 1, 2016 January 31, 2017) can be used fr this match. Fr instance, if a grantee received a new prgrammatic grant n July 1, 2015 that is designed t be spent thrughut the rganizatin s wn fiscal year (hypthetically July 1, 2015 June 30, 2016) and these funds are fr the same prject that is the subject f this applicatin, the rganizatin can use that grant as matching funds fr the JFNA grant. The fllwing funds cannt be used by an rganizatin tward the JFNA/Federal match: Federal funds; Claims Cnference dllars; and Funds used t meet the Claims Cnference s required match.
