I. Funding Opportunity Introduction Background
This funding opportunity is issued under the Department’s authority to administer Fund for a Healthy Nevada funds and Family Resource programming, including applicable provisions of NRS 439 and NRS Chapter 430A. FHN funds are used to support eligible programs and service consistent with the purposes of the Fund for a Healthy Nevada and the requirements applicable to Family Resource Centers.
The Nevada Department of Human Services (DHS) is responsible for administering the Fund for a Healthy Nevada (FHN), a source of state revenue which is funded through tobacco settlement monies received or recovered by the State of Nevada. The DHS Grants Management Unit (GMU) uses the FHN funds to support Family Resource Centers (FRC) throughout the State of Nevada.
This grant will serve as a one-time funding source.
FRCs provide case management, information, support services such as food assistance, transportation, rent and utility assistance, skills for employment and self-sufficiency; and referrals for individuals and families in need of assistance in accessing services and programs that will strengthen and support Nevada families. FRCs emphasize community-based, collaborative services that are culturally competent, accessible, and flexible. Service offerings may differ from one FRC to another; however, the overall family-driven approach should follow the program requirements below:
• Provide information, referral services, and case management to at-risk clients in the community.
• Maintain a primary service location within the funded service area; the location must be within one of the assigned zip codes or within the assigned county.
• Provide 10% match of the total amount granted. Match requirements can be found on page 4 of the FRC Policies and Procedures. Please note, Federal funds may not be used as match.
• Collect and report individual demographic information, referrals, and collaborations with community partners.
• Maintain client intake and case management files to assess the needs and provide appropriate referrals and services.
• Enter client and activity information into assigned database.
• Develop an action/outreach plan for providing services to all eligible clients within the geographic service area.
• Provide local staff who are knowledgeable about the resources available in the area to be served.
• Develop an FRC council composed of representatives from the community to assist the program in meeting the needs of the service area.
• Follow the DHS established policies and procedures: FRC Policies and Procedures.
Purpose mailto:gmu@dhhs.nv.gov https://www.dhs.nv.gov/siteassets/content/programs/grants/FRC_Policies-Procedures_SFY25_Final.pdf gmu@dhhs.nv.gov ● dhs.nv.gov/grants
This NOFO is published by the Grants Management Unit within the DHS Director’s Office (DO) and strictly focuses on any eligible non-profit or public organization that currently offers services as a State of Nevada FRC; or any non-profit or public organization that is eligible to offer services as Nevada FRC, prior to the application submission deadline for this NOFO.
The purpose of this NOFO is to provide funding to existing FRCs or to an eligible non-profit or public organization eligible to provide services as an FRC, within the Lincoln County Service Area.
FRCs offer referral services and case management to any at-risk individual or family seeking services in the community; programs to assist senior citizens; education on parenting and/or childcare services; programs teaching skills for employment and self-sufficiency; transportation services; or any other services needed within the communities that the FRC serves.
FRCs can use the funding to create new programs, expand current services, and to collaborate with other agencies, schools, faith-based organizations, and government agencies to assist families in obtaining needed services. All Family Resource Centers programs must develop policies and procedures that describe the service area, location of services, outreach activities, and type of services provided. Goals of the program and evaluation methods should be outlined in the agency’s Policy and Procedures Manual.
Eligible Entities
Eligible entities include public and private non-profit organizations located in Nevada and are currently recognized as a State of Nevada Family Resource Center, or that can demonstrate eligibility capacity to provide FRC services in the Lincoln County service area by the application deadline. The GMU must be assured that partners have adequate systems in place to properly administer the grant both financially, systematically, and programmatically.
Applications will be evaluated by a committee, which will include a technical review. The evaluation committee will submit the funding recommendation to the DHS Director, who will make the final funding decisions. Funding decisions will be awarded utilizing a scoring method and will strive to ensure appropriate geographic distribution of funds. All applications may not be funded.
This NOFO does not constitute a contract, agreement, or obligation to fund. No authorizations or encumbrances shall be authorized until such time that a fixed-amount Notice of Subaward is complete and signed by both DHS and Provider. The agreement is subject and contingent upon the successful negotiation of final terms of the subgrant, to include any conditions of award.
Program Income
Under Section 2 CFR §200.80, program income is defined as gross income earned by an organization that is directly generated by a supported activity or earned as result of the federal or state award during a specific period of performance. For programs receiving FHN funds, program income shall be added to funds committed to the project and used to further eligible project or program objectives. Program income must be identified by monthly progress reporting.

All proposals must include a detailed project budget for the project period. The budget should be an accurate representation of the funds necessary to carry out the proposed Scope of Work and achieve the projected outcomes over the grant period.
If the project is not fully funded, DHS will work with the applicant to modify the budget, the Scope of Work, and the projected outcomes.

Use the budget definitions provided in the “Categorized Budgets” section below to complete the narrative budget (spreadsheet tab labeled Budget Narrative 1). This spreadsheet contains formulas to automatically calculate totals and links to the budget summary spreadsheet (tab labeled Budget Summary) to automatically complete budget totals in Column B.
Do not override formulas.
The column for extensions (unit cost, quantity, total) on the budget narrative should include only funds requested in this application. Budget items funded through other sources may be included in the budget narrative description, but not in the extension column. Ensure that all figures add up correctly and that totals match within and between all forms and sections.
The budget cannot contain services that can be billed to public or private health insurance, including Medicaid, Medicare, or third-party liability parties.
Personnel:
Employees who provide direct services are provided here. The Personnel section is for staff who work as part of the applicant organization, for whom the applicant organization provides a furnished workspace, tools, and determines the means and the method of service delivery.
Contractors include those staff who provide products or services independently and provide their own workspace, tools, means, and methods for completion and are listed in the Contractor category.
For example:
Intake Specialist | $20/hour X 40 hours/week X 52 weeks = $ 41,600 Fringe = $41,600 X 15% (e.g. health insurance, FICA, worker’s comp) = $ 6,240 Personnel Total = $ 47,840
Only those staff whose time can be traced directly back to the grant project should be included in this budget category. This includes those who spend only part of their time on mailto:gmu@dhhs.nv.gov gmu@dhhs.nv.gov ● dhs.nv.gov/grants grant activities. All others should be considered part of the applicant’s indirect costs (explained later).
Travel:
Travel costs must provide direct benefit to this project. Identify staff that will travel, the purpose, frequency, and projected costs. U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) rates for per diem and lodging, and the state rate for mileage should be used unless the organization's policies specify lower rates for these expenses. Local travel (i.e., within the program’s service area) should be listed separately from out-of-area travel. Out-of-state travel and nonstandard fares/rates require special justification. GSA rates can be found online.
Operating:
List and justify tangible and expendable property necessary to carry out the proposed program.
Equipment:
Equipment is defined as tangible personal property (including information technology systems) having a useful life of more than one year and a per-unit acquisition cost which equals or exceeds the lesser of the capitalization level established by the non-federal entity for financial statement purposes, or $10,000.
Contractual/Consultant Services:
Project workers who are not employees of the applicant organization should be identified here. Any costs associated with these workers, such as travel or per diem, should also be identified here. Explain the need and/or purpose for the contractual/consultant service.
Identify and justify these costs. For collaborative projects involving multiple sites and partners, separate from the applicant organization, all costs incurred by the separate partners should be included in this category, with subcategories for Personnel, Fringe, Contract, etc. Written agreements or contracts must be maintained with each partner, and the applicant is responsible for administering these agreements in accordance with all requirements identified for grants administered under DHS.
Other Expenses:
Identify and justify these expenditures, which can include virtually any relevant expenditure associated with the project, such as client transportation, conference registrations, stipends, scholarships, etc.
Indirect Costs:
Indirect costs represent the expenses of doing business, that are expenses you cannot directly link to a specific product or service. These include rent, utilities, and administrative expenses, such as office supplies, travel, salaries, and other employee fringe benefits. An indirect cost rate should be established by the grantees who administer a variety of programs mailto:gmu@dhhs.nv.gov https://www.gsa.gov/travel/plan-book/per-diem-rates gmu@dhhs.nv.gov ● dhs.nv.gov/grants funded by federal, state, and local agencies. Agencies receiving direct federal grant funds should establish an indirect cost rate for their programs with the cognizant Federal agency;
agencies receiving only state grant funds should negotiate with the appropriate state agency to establish an indirect cost rate. If agencies have a federally approved indirect cost rate, that rate and documentation must be provided. All budgets are subject to the exclusions identified in the Modified Total Direct Cost Base (MTDC).
F. Resume of Project Manager (Technical Requirement; No points)
Provide the résumé of the key staff member with the licensure or expertise in providing evidence-based services. This résumé should not be more than two (2) pages long and should represent experience related to the proposed project.

Funding Recommendations mailto:gmu@dhhs.nv.gov https://dhs.nv.gov/grants/ mailto:gmu@dhhs.nv.gov mailto:gmu@dhhs.nv.gov gmu@dhhs.nv.gov ● dhs.nv.gov/grants
Project proposals with the highest ranking shall be prioritized for funding; however, this will not be the only method for selection. Recommendations may also consider underserved populations and geographic areas.
Final Review – Director
The DHS staff will submit funding recommendations to the DHS Director, who will make the final funding decisions. Final decisions made by the DHS Director will be based on the following factors:
A. Scores on the scoring matrix.
B. Geographic distribution to help ensure appropriate service and activities.
C. Conflicts or redundancy with other federal, state or locally funded programs, or supplanting (substitution) existing funding; and
D. Availability of funding.
Notification Process
Applicants will be notified of their status via email by June12, 2026,DHS staff will conduct negotiations with the applicants regarding the recommendation for funding to address any specific issues identified by the evaluators. These issues may include but are not limited to:
A. Revisions to the project budget.
B. Revisions to the Scope of Work and/or Performance Indicators; and/or
C. Enactment of Special Conditions (e.g., certain fiscal controls, more stringent performance requirements or more frequent reviews, etc.).
Not all applicants who are contacted for final negotiations will necessarily receive an award. All related issues must be resolved before a grant is awarded. All funding is contingent upon availability of funds. Upon successful conclusion of negotiations, DHS staff will complete a written subgrant agreement in the form of a Notice of Subaward (NOSA). The NOSA and any supporting documents will be distributed to the subrecipient upon approval of the subaward.
Disclaimer
DHS reserves the right to accept or reject any or all applications. This NOFO does not obligate the State to award a contract or complete the project, and the State reserves the right to cancel solicitation if it is in its best interest.
Upon Approval of Award
Monthly Financial Status and Request for Reimbursement Reports
DHS requires the use of a standardized Excel spreadsheet reimbursement request form that self-populates certain financial information. This form must be used for all reimbursement requests.
Monthly reports are required even if no reimbursement is requested for a month. Instructions and technical assistance will be provided upon award of funds. The monthly reports will be due by the gmu@dhhs.nv.gov ● dhs.nv.gov/grants
15th of the following month. Failure to provide timely reimbursement reports may result in corrective action.
Performance Reporting
Applicants who receive an award must collaborate with DHS in reporting monthly and quarterly on progress in meeting goals. Additional performance reports may be requested as instructed by DHS. Monthly progress reports are due by 15th of each month. Quarterly progress reports will be due by the 30th of the month following the end of the reporting quarter.
• Monthly Progress Reports: These reports will go over the number of people served, service type, etc. in that month.
• Quarterly Progress Reports: These reports are specific to where the agency is at with meeting their goals in their scope of work. There is also a quarterly report due regarding TANF MOE reporting for all Family Resource Centers. This report is due by the 15th of the month following the end of the reporting quarter.
Please note, that the reporting deadlines for these reports are subject to change. Any changes will be communicated by the Program Specialist overseeing the award to the selected agency.
Subrecipient Monitoring
Successful applicants must participate in subrecipient monitoring. Subrecipient monitoring is intended to provide ongoing technical support to subrecipients and gather information reportable by DHS to the state oversight entities. To facilitate the review process, materials referred to in the review documents should be gathered prior to the review. The subrecipient’s primary contact person and appropriate staff should make themselves available to answer questions and assist the reviewer(s) throughout the process. The subrecipient monitoring reports or action items will be sent to the subrecipient within 30 working days following the conclusion of the monitoring.
Compliance with changes to Federal and State Laws
As federal and state laws change and affect either the DHS process or the requirements of recipients, successful applicants will be required to respond to and adhere to all new regulations and requirements.
