This opportunity has completely shifted its scope to fund an independent evaluation of the Capacity Building Initiative, rather than financial literacy training. Along with this new focus, the maximum award has increased significantly to $150,000, and the submission deadline has been pushed back to April 30, 2026. Be sure to check the updated application requirements, as you will now need a Unique Entity ID (UEI) and a lead evaluator with at least 10 years of experience.
