About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of the Treasury is forecasting applications from state and local governments for Social Impact Partnerships to Pay for Results Act (SIPPRA) demonstration projects, with no current open solicitation active as of October 7, 2026.
Eligible applicants are state governments, county governments, city and township governments, special district governments, tribal governments (federally recognized), public housing authorities, and public higher education institutions (public only). No cost share or matching requirement is stated in the enabling statute or program guidance.
Recent awards have ranged from approximately $1.4 million to $10 million per grant. Nineteen total awards totaling $84.8 million in federal obligations have been made since program inception in June 2021. Treasury Departmental Offices issued 17 awards ($76.7 million); the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration contributed 2 awards ($8.1 million). A minimum of 50 percent of awarded funds must directly benefit children.
SIPPRA funds pay-for-performance projects structured as Project Grants with awards authorized up to ten years in duration. Applicants must propose measurable, clearly defined outcomes that produce social benefit and federal, state, or local savings through one of 21 statutory categories. Projects must incorporate outcomes measurement and randomized controlled trials or other rigorous methodologies for assessing program impact, with independent evaluation required.
Treasury evaluates applications on value to the federal government of expected outcomes, savings to federal and state/local governments, likelihood of achieving outcomes, quality of evaluation design, and capacity and commitment to sustain the intervention. The SIPPRA Commission (appointed by Congress and the President) reviews applications and makes award recommendations; the Interagency Council certifies rigorous, evidence-based research methodologies before funding authorization.
The program is listed under CFDA 21.017.
Forecast synopsis
The U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) invite applications from State and local governments for awards under the Social Impact Partnerships to Pay for Results Act (SIPPRA). SIPPRA was signed into law on February 9, 2018 and is intended to improve the effectiveness of certain social services. 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.
