Opportunity Summary:
The Native Language Preservation and Maintenance Planning opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2009 ACF ANA NL 0033) is a discretionary grant program offered by the Administration for Native Americans (ANA) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It makes Fiscal Year 2009 funding available for new, community-based activities that help Native communities plan language projects aimed at promoting the survival and continued vitality of Native American languages (CFDA 93.587). The focus in this planning category is on building a strong, organized foundation for language work, rather than fully funding long-term, large-scale program delivery. In other words, these grants support the planning stage for Native language projects so communities can design effective, culturally grounded language initiatives before moving into broader implementation.
Funding for the opportunity is set at an estimated total of $1,500,000, with an expectation of around 10 awards. Individual awards range from a floor of $50,000 to a ceiling of $150,000. The announcement emphasizes that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning recipients must contribute a non-federal share toward the total project cost. A key purpose of the modification attached to this opportunity is to correct and clarify how applicants should calculate that required non-federal share (NFS). The original program announcement contained an incorrect example that listed the federal request and total project costs as the same amount ($125,000) while also claiming an NFS of $25,000, which does not add up. The correction explains that, for the example to work, the federal request should be revised to $100,000 (with the remaining amount representing the non-federal share), aligning the example with proper matching calculations and helping applicants prepare accurate budgets and cost-share documentation.
The eligibility criteria are broad but clearly centered on Native-serving and Native-led entities. Eligible applicants include federally recognized Indian Tribes; consortia of Tribes; incorporated non-federally recognized Tribes; incorporated nonprofit, multipurpose, community-based Indian organizations; Urban Indian Centers; and national or regional incorporated nonprofit Native American organizations that have Native American community-specific objectives. Alaska Native entities are also eligible, including Alaska Native Villages (as defined in the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act) and/or nonprofit village consortia; incorporated nonprofit Alaska Native multipurpose community-based organizations; nonprofit Alaska Native regional corporations or associations in Alaska when the proposed project is village-specific; nonprofit Native organizations in Alaska with village-specific projects; and certain Alaska Native community entities or Tribal governing bodies (IRA or Traditional Councils) recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. For Native Hawaiian and U.S.-affiliated Pacific communities, eligible applicants include public and nonprofit private agencies serving Native Hawaiians, and public or nonprofit private agencies serving Native peoples from Guam, American Samoa, or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (whether services are delivered on the islands or in the continental United States). The opportunity also allows applications from tribally controlled community colleges, tribally controlled postsecondary vocational institutions, and colleges and universities in Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands that serve Native American Pacific Islanders, as well as nonprofit Alaska Native community entities. Faith-based and community organizations may apply if they otherwise meet eligibility requirements. Foreign entities are explicitly not eligible.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted December 5, 2008, with an original and current closing date of March 11, 2009, and an archive date of April 10, 2009. Applications submitted through Grants.gov had to be received by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, a detail highlighted to prevent late electronic submissions. For applicants needing the full announcement, ANA provided an online link through the ACF grants site, and offered technical assistance through the ACF Applications Help Desk (appsupport@acf.hhs.gov) for anyone who had difficulty accessing the materials electronically.
