Opportunity Summary:
The Native American Language Preservation and Maintenance Esther Martinez Immersion grant (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-ANA-NL-0780) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Administration for Native Americans (ANA). The program is designed to strengthen and sustain Native American languages by funding community-driven immersion efforts. It supports the survival and continuing vitality of Native languages, with projects structured around the Esther Martinez Native American Languages Preservation framework authorized under Public Law 109-394.
This opportunity funds three-year projects that use immersion as the core strategy for language transmission and revitalization. The grant is specifically aimed at efforts implemented through Native American Language Nests, Survival Schools, and Restoration Programs. In practical terms, that means applicants are expected to propose programming where Native languages are used as the primary medium of instruction and daily communication, especially with children and learners in settings intended to rebuild fluent speaker communities over time. The focus is not simply on documentation or short-term classes, but on structured immersion environments that promote daily use and intergenerational transfer.
ANA anticipates making about 6 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,750,000. Individual award amounts are expected to fall between $100,000 (award floor) and $300,000 (award ceiling). A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants must plan to contribute non-federal resources toward the project consistent with the terms described in the full funding opportunity announcement.
Eligible applicants include a range of Native-serving and Native-led entities. This includes federally recognized Native American tribal governments, tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized tribal governments), and nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3), as long as they are not institutions of higher education). The eligibility scope explicitly includes organizations representing American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and other Native American Pacific Islanders, including communities in American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Faith-based and community organizations may apply if they meet the stated eligibility requirements. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply.
