Opportunity Information: Apply for D15AP00008
The grant opportunity titled "Estate Planning Services for American Indians and Alaska Natives" aims to provide estate planning assistance to preserve trust lands and minimize fractionated interests among American Indians and Alaska Natives. Established under the American Indian Probate Reform Act of 2004, the program focuses on helping individuals create wills and manage their trust or restricted assets to ensure that their estates are distributed according to their wishes rather than federal or tribal laws.
The Department of the Interior plans to award a single grant of up to $350,000 for Fiscal Year 2015 to the successful applicant, who will manage an estate planning program to achieve several objectives, including developing an implementation plan, coordinating legal service delivery, monitoring provider performance, and reporting on effectiveness.
Eligible applicants include Indian tribes and nonprofit organizations that provide legal assistance to Indian communities. The funding can be used for personnel salaries, consultation fees, necessary supplies, and related expenses, with indirect costs capped at 15% of direct costs.
Application submissions are due by January 22, 2015, with specific requirements on format and content. Review criteria will assess the implementation plan’s effectiveness, the applicant's readiness, and their approach to serving communities with limited estate planning resources.
The anticipated announcement of grant awards is set for February 13, 2015, with funding being available shortly thereafter. Successful applicants will need to comply with various federal regulations and are responsible for managing activities within the agreed implementation plan.Apply for D15AP00008
