If it's pre-selected through a review process by an intermediary applicant (a foundation for example) that is awarded a SIF grant; or 2. If it applies to an intermediary organization that is selected as a SIF grantee but which has not conducted its own grantee selection competition. In this case, the Corporation would announce the SIF grantees (it always announces who its grantees are for other competitions). In Ginny's case, the intermediary could be a foundation that has geographically elected to fund organizations in in South Carolina or a foundation that is funding an issue area (such as youth development) that compliments the mission of her nonprofit.

I hope you'll submit a comment to the Corporation and forward it for publication on Tactical Philanthropy. Ginny, I haven’t finished reading the NOFA yet, but you make an interesting point.

Will the applicants be published so that non-profits can figure out if there is a path for them to compete? In reading the draft, it's unclear to me.
