Opportunity Summary:
The Native Language Preservation and Maintenance Implementation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2009-ACF-ANA-NL-0039) is a discretionary grant program administered by the Administration for Native Americans (ANA) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It offers Fiscal Year 2009 funding for new, community-based projects that move beyond planning and into active implementation of a Native language preservation effort. The central idea is to support work that directly advances a community's long-range Native language goal or goals, such as increasing the number of speakers, strengthening intergenerational transmission, expanding teaching capacity, and embedding language use in daily community life through structured programming.
Funding is competitive and is intended to support on-the-ground language implementation activities rather than general cultural programming. The total estimated funding available is $2,000,000, with an expectation of about 10 awards. Individual awards range from a floor of $50,000 to a ceiling of $200,000. The program is listed under CFDA 93.587, which focuses on promoting the survival and continuing vitality of Native American languages, and it falls within the broader federal activity category of income security and social services.
A key feature of this opportunity is that it requires cost sharing or matching (a non-federal share). The announcement also includes an important technical modification clarifying how to calculate that required non-federal share because the original program announcement (PA) used incorrect figures in its example. The incorrect example showed the federal request and the total project cost both as $125,000, while also listing a $25,000 non-federal share, which does not add up properly. The correction states that the federal request amount should be revised to $100,000 in the example, with the remaining amount representing the non-federal share. In practical terms, applicants need to ensure the project budget is built so that the federal portion plus the required non-federal contribution equals the total project cost, and that the match calculation is based on the correct federal request figure rather than the mistaken one.
Eligibility is broad but specifically focused on Native-serving and Native-governed entities. Eligible applicants include federally recognized Indian Tribes; consortia of Tribes; incorporated non-federally recognized Tribes; incorporated nonprofit multi-purpose community-based Indian organizations; Urban Indian Centers; and national or regional incorporated nonprofit Native American organizations with community-specific objectives. Alaska-focused eligible applicants include Alaska Native Villages (as defined by the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act) and/or nonprofit village consortia; incorporated nonprofit Alaska Native multi-purpose community-based organizations; nonprofit Alaska Native Regional Corporations or Associations for village-specific projects; nonprofit Native organizations in Alaska with village-specific projects; and certain Alaska Native community entities or Tribal governing bodies (including Indian Reorganization Act or Traditional Councils) recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The opportunity also includes public and nonprofit private agencies serving Native Hawaiians, as well as public and nonprofit private agencies serving Native peoples from Guam, American Samoa, or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (whether served on the islands or in the United States). Tribally controlled community colleges, tribally controlled postsecondary vocational institutions, and colleges and universities located in Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands that serve Native American Pacific Islanders are also eligible. Faith-based and community organizations may apply if they meet the eligibility framework, while foreign entities are explicitly not eligible.
The application timeline indicates the opportunity was posted December 5, 2008, with a closing date of March 11, 2009, and an archive date of April 10, 2009. For electronic submissions through Grants.gov, applications had to be submitted by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, reflecting a strict federal deadline standard. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov. The full announcement and details were provided through ACF's grants portal link included in the notice.
