Opportunity Summary:
The Native American Language Preservation and Maintenance grant is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), specifically through the Administration for Native Americans (ANA). It supports community-based efforts to keep Native languages alive by helping communities understand the current health of their language and then move into practical, organized work to preserve and strengthen it. The program is designed for established Native communities and is centered on language survival and long-term vitality, not short-term cultural programming.
The main purpose of the funding is to back projects that either assess the status of a Native language in a community or develop and carry out plans to maintain and revitalize that language. In practice, this can include activities like documenting how many speakers remain, identifying speaker age ranges and fluency levels, examining where and how the language is still used, and determining what barriers exist to language transmission. From there, funding can support planning, designing, and implementing curriculum and education efforts that match the community's own language goals. That may involve creating teaching materials, building community language classes, developing immersion or learner programs, training instructors, or setting up structured learning pathways that can be sustained over time.
The opportunity is tied to CFDA 93.587, which focuses on promoting the survival and continued vitality of Native American languages. For this funding cycle, ANA anticipated making about 10 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $2,500,000. Individual awards are expected to fall between $100,000 (award floor) and $300,000 (award ceiling). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients must contribute non-federal resources toward the project as required by the program rules laid out in the full funding announcement.
Eligible applicants include a range of Native-serving and Native-led entities. This includes federally recognized tribal governments, tribal organizations (including those that are not federally recognized tribal governments), and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education). The eligibility language also explicitly includes organizations representing American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and other Native American Pacific Islanders, including American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Faith-based and community organizations may apply as long as they meet the eligibility requirements. The program does not allow individuals, foreign entities, or sole proprietorships to compete for or receive awards.
Administratively, the funding opportunity number is HHS-2014-ACF-ANA-NL-0778, and the instrument type is a grant under the broader activity category of Income Security and Social Services. The opportunity was originally posted on February 14, 2014, with an original closing date of April 15, 2014, and a later listed current closing date of March 4, 2015. Applications needed to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
