Building Strong Futures: Parent and Child Outcomes for Economic Success in the Whole Family Approach
2025-06-25 14:00 - 15:00, 2025-07-30 14:00 - 15:00 UTC
Join us for a two-part webinar series exploring how intentional, well-designed services for both parents and children can drive lasting economic success and break the cycle of poverty. Grounded in the Whole Family Approach (WFA), this series highlights how Community Action Agencies are implementing innovative strategies that meet families where they are—and move them forward.
Part One: Workforce Development Sufficient to Achieve Economic Success
Wednesday, June 25, at 2 PM ET | 1 PM CT | 12 PM MT | 11 AM PT
A key component to achieving upward mobility is economic success. Achieving economic success takes services and supports that are intensive enough and sufficient to help parents achieve stability and grow their earning potential and wealth. In this webinar, learn how a local Community Action Agency (CAA) has developed an innovative, strategic, and intentional model for workforce training services that help parents achieve economic success.
Part Two: Child Services that Advance Economic Success Through a Whole Family Approach
Wednesday, July 30, at 2 PM ET | 1 PM CT | 12 PM MT | 11 AM PT
Breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty requires that infants, children, and youth get the best social, emotional, and educational opportunities early and all along the way. Helping children of all ages get and stay on track developmentally so they can succeed as adults takes intentional planning and design on the part of WFA leaders. Hear from WFA leaders who are providing high-quality, innovative services to children at different developmental stages and ages.

Putting Scenario Planning to Work for Weatherization
2025-07-08 14:00 - 15:30
Scenario planning helps organizations prepare for a range of possible futures—best-case to worst-case—by focusing on high-impact, high-probability risks. With ongoing policy shifts, funding uncertainty, and unpredictable weather, this structured approach supports better decision-making and builds resilience in times of uncertainty. NCAP’s Scenario Planning Toolkit offers templates and guidance to assess financial, operational, and community impacts, and helps teams develop decision filters to guide responses. This session will provide a brief overview of scenario planning, highlight key resources and approaches from the Toolkit, and use peer discussion to explore how Weatherization program managers can apply scenario planning in their departments and in their organizations.

NCAP Energy Webinars: NCAP, CAPLAW, and WIPFLI Discussing New DOE Financial Assistance Letter: Implementation of Indirect and Fringe Benefits Cost Reimbursement
2025-09-17 11:00 - 12:00
On June 30, 2025, the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Financial Assistance Regulations issued a Financial Assistance Letter (FAL) regarding the Implementation of Indirect and Fringe Benefits Cost Reimbursement Limits on Financial Assistance Awards. This is applicable to new financial assistance awards executed on or after May 8, 2025, including fully conditional awards, to the following Non-Federal Entities:

For-Profit Organizations
Nonprofit Organizations
State and Local Governments

Also, please note that any subrecipient organization shall also adhere to the indirect cost reimbursement limitations set forth in 2 CFR 200.322.
The maximum amount of funds that may be paid or reimbursed to a recipient for indirect and fringe benefits costs will be calculated as a percentage of the project’s Total Award Amount. This amount will be stated as a maximum dollar value in the award terms and conditions. The percentage used to calculate the reimbursement limitations are as follows:

For-Profit Organizations: up to 15% of the Total Award Amount
Nonprofit Organizations: up to 15% of the Total Award Amount
State and Local Governments: up to 10% of the Total Award Amount

Financial assistance awards are governed by 2 CFR 200 as adopted and supplemented by 2 CFR 910. 2 CFR 200.414(c) addresses the use of a recipient’s negotiated indirect cost rate agreement (NICRA). The percentages listed above may deviate from the recipient’s negotiated indirect cost rates specified in the award.

Additionally, join NCAP, CAPLAW and WIPFLI to learn about the potential impacts the FAL will have on your local Weatherization Program. Attendees will hear from legal and fiscal experts about how grantees are responding and strategies WAP providers can implement to meet requirements, mitigate risk, and maintain fiscal strength long-term.
