Opportunity Summary:
The Native American Language Preservation and Maintenance Esther Martinez Immersion grant was a Fiscal Year 2015 discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Administration for Native Americans (ANA). Its purpose was to strengthen the survival and ongoing vitality of Native American languages by supporting community-driven immersion efforts authorized under Public Law 109-394. The program focused on three-year projects that use immersion as the core strategy, specifically through Native American Language Nests, Survival Schools, and Restoration Programs. In practical terms, the opportunity was designed to help communities create or expand intensive language learning environments where children and learners are surrounded by the target language in daily instruction and activities, rather than relying only on periodic classes.
The eligible communities and intended beneficiaries were broadly defined to include American Indian tribes (both federally recognized and non-federally recognized), Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Native American Pacific Islanders. The eligibility rules emphasized organizational applicants rather than individuals. Eligible applicants included federally recognized tribal governments, other Native American tribal organizations, and nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they were not institutions of higher education in those categories as listed). Faith-based and community organizations could apply if they met the eligibility requirements, while individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships were explicitly excluded from competing for or receiving awards. The announcement indicated that a full listing of eligible entities would be provided in the complete funding opportunity announcement.
Funding was provided in the form of grants under CFDA 93.587, categorized under Income Security and Social Services. ANA expected to make about six awards from an estimated total funding pool of $1.5 million. Individual awards were anticipated to range from $100,000 to $300,000, setting both a floor and a ceiling for project budgets. A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning recipients needed to contribute non-federal resources toward the project, consistent with ANA grant rules and the details in the full announcement.
Key administrative details included the funding opportunity number (HHS-2014-ACF-ANA-NB-0780) and a posting date of December 2, 2014. Applications were due on March 4, 2015, with electronic submissions required by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date. The opportunity was archived on April 3, 2015. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or navigating submission issues were directed to the ACF Applications Help Desk via appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
