Description
The Social Impact Partnerships to Pay for Results Act (SIPPRA) demonstration program supports partnerships designed to improve the effectiveness of social services. Administered primarily by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, it uses a “pay for results” model: the federal government pays for a project only when predetermined outcomes are achieved and independently validated.
Qualifying projects must produce measurable, clearly defined outcomes that deliver social benefits and federal, state, or local savings within one or more of 21 statutory categories. SIPPRA addresses social challenges in areas including child welfare, family services, employment, education, health, and housing. This opportunity provides competitive project grants and separate funding for required independent evaluations.
