Opportunity Summary:
The Native American Language Preservation and Maintenance - Esther Martinez Initiative is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), administered through the Administration for Native Americans (ANA). For Fiscal Year 2010, ANA set out to fund community-based immersion projects that help keep Native American languages alive through daily use and instruction. While the program is fundamentally about language, ANA frames the larger goal as supporting the economic and social self-sufficiency of Native communities, including American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and other Native American Pacific Islanders, with specific inclusion of American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
This opportunity focuses specifically on immersion-style education models, meaning programs where the Native language is used as the main language of teaching and learning rather than being treated as a subject taught only a few hours a week. Funding supports two main types of initiatives: Native Language Nests and Native Language Survival Schools. In general terms, language nests are typically early-childhood settings that surround young children with fluent speakers and consistent language exposure, while survival schools are usually school-age programs designed to teach students through the Native language for a substantial part of the school day. A key requirement is that applicants must meet the statutory definitions and conditions for either a Native Language Nest or a Native Language Survival School as established under Public Law 109-394, which is the authorizing law for the Esther Martinez Native American Languages Preservation Act. In other words, this is not an open-ended language grant; projects have to fit the immersion framework and meet the legal standards tied to that law.
The funding announcement (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2010-ACF-ANA-NL-0029) anticipated making about 8 awards, with an estimated total of $2,000,000 available. Individual awards were expected to fall between $100,000 and $300,000 (award floor and ceiling). The CFDA number listed is 93.587, described as promoting the survival and continuing vitality of Native American languages. Applicants should also note that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning grantees must contribute non-federal resources in accordance with the program rules described in the full announcement.
Eligible applicants are broad within Native-serving and Native-governed institutions, but they are still specific. The announcement lists federally recognized tribal governments and tribal organizations, as well as nonprofits (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education). Additional eligibility details include consortia of Indian tribes, incorporated non-federally recognized tribes, urban Indian centers, Alaska Native villages (as defined by the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act) and/or nonprofit village consortia, tribally controlled community colleges, tribally controlled postsecondary vocational institutions, and nonprofit Alaska Native community entities or tribal governing bodies such as IRA councils or traditional councils recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Nonprofit organizations representing American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and other Native American Pacific Islanders are also eligible. Faith-based and community organizations may apply as well. Individuals and foreign entities are explicitly ineligible.
Key dates for this FY 2010 competition were a posted date of March 4, 2010, and an application deadline of April 9, 2010. For electronic submissions through Grants.gov, applications had to be submitted no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The archive date was May 9, 2010, which indicates the opportunity is historical, but the summary captures how the program was structured and what it aimed to fund.
For applicants needing the official details, ACF provided a full announcement link through its grants site, and assistance was available through the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov, which was the point of contact for problems accessing the announcement or submission-related issues.
