Description: The Social Innovation Fund Pay for Success Pilot grant program was created as a result of the FY 2014 Omnibus Appropriations Act. This pilot responds to the need in the social sector for new ways of funding in a time that resources are declining as demands are increasing. It offers the opportunity to support innovation in the social sector innovation while driving better results and conserving government resources.

If normal clearance procedures are followed, CNCS will lose the opportunity to conduct this pilot, as funds must be obligated by September 30, 2014. There will not be sufficient time to complete this grant competition this fiscal year if we were to follow the standard OIRA clearance procedure.
