Description of Program

In 2018, Congress appropriated $100 million to Treasury to implement the Social Impact Partnership to Pay for Results Act (the “Act”), which established a new grant demonstration program to encourage funding social programs that achieve results (the “SIPPRA program”). Under this NOFA, Treasury announces the availability of approximately $40.9 million for payments for successful outcomes of social impact partnership projects through grants to State and local governments, and, for required project evaluations, the availability of up to approximately $6.1 million. All awards provided through this NOFA are subject to funding availability.

As stated in the Act, the purposes of the SIPPRA program 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.
