Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 10 Multi State Mentoring Initiative (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2010 2547) is a discretionary grant program from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, under CFDA 16.726 (Juvenile Mentoring Program). The core purpose of the opportunity is to help strengthen, expand, or otherwise improve mentoring efforts that reach high risk youth populations that are not being adequately served. The solicitation is designed for communities where mentoring is hard to deliver because of barriers like geographic isolation, a shortage of available mentors, or the specific physical or mental challenges faced by the youth being targeted. It also leaves room for applicants to describe other comparable, community-identified circumstances that create gaps in mentoring access. The authority cited for the program is the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2010 (Public Law 111 117), which supports OJJDP in funding youth-focused delinquency prevention and intervention strategies, including structured mentoring.
A major emphasis of this initiative is moving mentoring programs beyond early startup stages by supporting their development and maturity. In practical terms, that means applicants are expected to propose enhancements or expansions that make community mentoring programs more stable, better connected to local systems, and more capable of serving challenging or underserved youth populations over time. While the text provided does not list specific required program models or performance measures, the framing strongly suggests OJJDP was looking for initiatives that can demonstrate organizational capacity, strong community integration, and the ability to build networks that respond to the individual needs of participating youth.
Eligibility is relatively specific and is aimed at established organizations with multi state reach but not at very large national networks. OJJDP invites applications from private nonprofit and for profit organizations, including faith based, community based, and tribal organizations, and the opportunity also lists public entities such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, and federally recognized tribal governments as eligible applicant types. At the same time, eligibility is restricted to organizations that have existed for at least three years and can show they have a strong presence in their communities. Applicants must have programs operating in five or more states and must be able to demonstrate that state and local officials view them as a credible and effective force in addressing youth issues through mentoring. The solicitation also expects applicants to show active relationships and agreements with existing youth serving agencies and partners, explicitly including faith based, community, and tribal organizations, to form the network needed to meet youth needs. Funding is intended to support an individual lead organization, but it recognizes that mentoring systems often require multiple supporting partners, so subrecipients and contractors may play key roles under the primary grantee.
The solicitation draws a clear boundary around who cannot apply: national organizations are ineligible. Here, "national organizations" are defined as having an active program or programs with a financial relationship with affiliates in at least 45 states. In addition, for applicants proposing to provide direct services, the youth served cannot include individuals age 18 or older, meaning the direct service population must be under 18.
Operationally, applications were required to be submitted through the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (OJP GMS) at https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov/. The opportunity was posted on March 8, 2010, with an application deadline of April 22, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The record later shows an archive date of November 7, 2011. The listing indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are shown as 0 in the provided data, which typically means the specific award size was not captured in this summary record or was defined in the full announcement rather than in the metadata.
For support, the contact listed for issues accessing the full announcement is the GMS Helpdesk at 1 888 549 9901, with an email contact referenced but not fully displayed in the text provided.
