The Act allows for payment to be made to an award recipient if a specified outcome of the social impact partnership project is achieved, as determined by the project's independent evaluator. The payment to the awardee must be less than or equal to the value of the outcome to the federal government over a period not exceeding ten years from the date of implementation.
The Department of the Treasury will administer the awards made under this grant opportunity, or another federal agency with expertise in the social benefits addressed in the proposed project may administer the awards. The Treasury expects to award approximately $40.9 million in competitive project grants under this opportunity. Priority will be given to projects that directly benefit children, as 50 percent of awarded funds must be used on projects that directly benefit children.
State and local governments receiving project grants will also be eligible to receive a grant for up to 15 percent of the project grant amount to pay for the cost of a statutorily required independent evaluation, regardless of whether outcomes have been met. Approximately $6.1 million is expected to be available for the costs of independent evaluations.
