Opportunity Summary:
The CONNECTING KIDS TO COVERAGE Outreach and Enrollment Grants Focused on Increasing Enrollment of American Indian/Alaska Native Children (often shortened to Connecting Kids to Coverage AI/AN Grants) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). It is authorized under Section 2113 of the Social Security Act, as amended by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and is designed to increase health coverage enrollment for eligible American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) children. The program focuses on practical, community-centered outreach and enrollment assistance so more AI/AN children get enrolled in Medicaid and the Children s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and so families better understand their health coverage options and how to apply.
The core purpose of the funding is to support outreach strategies that are tailored to the realities of AI/AN communities, including where AI/AN children and families live and the local systems they already trust. This includes engaging community leaders and partnering with programs that directly serve children and families. In addition to outreach, the grants support hands-on activities that help families navigate application procedures and understand coverage opportunities across Medicaid, CHIP, and plans available through the health insurance marketplace. In other words, the funding is meant to reduce practical barriers like lack of information, confusing enrollment steps, and limited access to trusted enrollment help, with a strong emphasis on culturally and locally appropriate approaches.
A total of 4,000,000 in funding is available under this opportunity, with CMS expecting to make about 15 awards. Individual grant awards are expected to range from 250,000 (award floor) to 500,000 (award ceiling). The funding instrument is a grant, the activity category is health, and the CFDA number listed is 93.767 (Children s Health Insurance Program). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is intentionally limited to entities that are closely connected to AI/AN health services and communities. Eligible applicants include Indian Health Service (IHS) providers, Tribes and Tribal organizations operating health programs under the Indian Self Determination and Education Assistance Act (Public Law 93-638, as amended), and Urban Indian organizations operating health programs under Title V of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (Public Law 94-437, as amended). Coalitions can also apply, but they must be headed by one of these eligible entities, reinforcing that the lead organization must be an AI/AN-serving health entity with the authority and capacity to direct the work.
The administrative details in the posting show it was published in mid-May 2014 (posted May 12, 2014; created May 14, 2014), with an application deadline of June 30, 2014, and a requirement that applications be received by 3:00 PM Eastern Time. The opportunity was later archived on July 30, 2014.
