Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 10 Tribal Youth National Mentoring Program (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2010 2650) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. It was created to fund national initiatives that help build, strengthen, and expand community-based mentoring programs serving tribal youth who live on the reservations of federally recognized tribes. The overall intent is to address gaps in mentoring access for tribal youth who are currently underserved, whether that is because of geographic isolation, a limited pool of available mentors, or the particular needs of youth facing emotional or behavioral challenges, along with other locally defined circumstances identified by the tribes themselves. The program is authorized through the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2010 (Public Law 111-117), which provides the statutory backing for OJJDP to make these awards.
The emphasis in this solicitation is on national-level capacity and reach rather than a single-site local program. Applicants are expected to propose initiatives that can support the development and maturation of mentoring services across multiple states and tribal jurisdictions, meaning the funded work should be able to operate with more than one tribe and navigate different tribal contexts. In practice, this points to activities such as helping establish new mentoring programs where they do not exist, professionalizing and improving existing programs, expanding mentor recruitment and retention strategies in hard-to-serve areas, and strengthening the quality and consistency of mentoring services for youth with higher needs. The solicitation also makes clear that the target setting is on-reservation communities of federally recognized tribes, and it centers tribal identification of need as a driver for where and how mentoring expansion should occur.
Eligibility is limited to national organizations and federally recognized tribal governments that can demonstrate the ability to work across multiple tribal jurisdictions. The solicitation indicates that eligible applicants include community-based, secular, and faith-based nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status), and federally recognized Indian tribal governments as determined by the Secretary of the Interior and listed in the Federal Register. It also notes the broader applicant categories commonly recognized in federal listings (such as state and local governments and public institutions of higher education), but the controlling eligibility language is the restriction to national organizations and federally recognized tribes with multi-state, multi-jurisdiction capacity. Partnerships are allowed, including the use of other national organizations as subgrantees, and joint tribal applications are explicitly welcomed as long as one entity is clearly designated as the primary applicant responsible for fiscal management, official correspondence, and overall grant administration, with others listed as co-applicants.
The award structure allows for a maximum (ceiling) of $2,000,000, with no stated award floor, and the solicitation indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument is a grant, the activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 16.731 (Tribal Youth Program). Applications were required to be submitted electronically through the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (OJP GMS) at grants.ojp.usdoj.gov, with a deadline of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 17, 2010. The opportunity was posted March 31, 2010, and later archived on November 6, 2011.
