Opportunity Information: Apply for TEGL 02 24
The FY2024 Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number TEGL 02-24) is a discretionary grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (ETA). It supports activities in the Employment, Labor, and Training area and is associated with CFDA number 17.289. This announcement is tied to congressionally directed spending, meaning the projects and recipients are specifically identified through the federal appropriations process rather than being broadly open competition for any eligible entity that wants to apply.
A key feature of this opportunity is that eligibility is not actually open in the usual sense. Even though the listing shows "EligibleApplicants: Unrestricted," the FOA makes clear that only organizations explicitly named in Appendix 1, as referenced in the Explanatory Statement for Division D of the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2024, are eligible to receive awards. In practical terms, this means that if an organization is not listed in that Appendix 1 table, its application will not be reviewed at all, regardless of project quality or alignment. This is one of the most important screening rules for this funding: being named is the threshold requirement.
The funding instrument for this program is a grant, with an award ceiling of up to $6,000,000 per award. ETA expects to make approximately 128 awards under this announcement. These numbers indicate that awards can vary in size and scope, but the maximum amount available to a single project is capped at six million dollars. Because this is a congressionally directed funding mechanism, the number of anticipated awards reflects the count of designated recipients/projects included in the appropriations materials rather than an estimate based on competitive scoring outcomes.
From an applicant timeline perspective, the original closing date is listed as January 31, 2025. The FOA creation date is September 1, 2024. Organizations that are named in Appendix 1 should treat the closing date as the deadline to submit the required application materials through the federal grants process. Organizations that are not named should understand that submitting an application would be ineffective because it will not move forward to review.
For communications and updates, ETA directs questions about the Funding Opportunity Announcement to Community.Projects.ETA@dol.gov. The announcement also encourages interested parties and prospective applicants to use the Grants.gov subscription option to receive updates related to this specific FOA. That subscription feature is a practical way to track amendments, clarifications, or administrative changes that sometimes occur after an opportunity is posted.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as an administrative pathway for releasing FY2024 congressionally directed funds for workforce and training-related projects, where Congress has already specified the intended recipient organizations. The most important action for any potential applicant is to confirm whether their organization is named in the referenced Appendix 1; only those listed entities can submit an application that ETA will consider for award.Apply for TEGL 02 24
