Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2008 Mentoring Programs for At Risk Tribal Youth grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2008 1902) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, through the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. It was created and posted on July 3, 2008, with an application deadline of August 4, 2008, and it was later archived on September 3, 2008. The program is authorized by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008 (Public Law 110 161), and it falls under CFDA 16.731, Tribal Youth Program, within the broader category of Law, Justice, and Legal Services.
The purpose of the solicitation is to strengthen mentoring services for at risk tribal youth by supporting community based initiatives that either continue existing mentoring efforts, expand their reach, or enhance their quality and effectiveness. The emphasis is on building the development and long term maturity of mentoring programs in communities where youth are considered underserved. The solicitation specifically highlights several reasons youth may be underserved, including remote or difficult geographic locations, a limited supply of available mentors, and the presence of emotional or behavioral challenges among the youth being served. It also leaves room for communities to define additional local conditions that create gaps in mentoring access, signaling that proposals should be grounded in community identified needs rather than a one size fits all model.
Funding is provided through a grant instrument, with a maximum award ceiling of $2,000,000 and no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which reduces financial barriers for applicants and can be particularly important for smaller tribal communities and nonprofit organizations that may not have large unrestricted budgets.
Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments, Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), and nonprofit organizations. Both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status are eligible, as long as they are not institutions of higher education. In practical terms, this eligibility structure is designed to allow tribal governments and tribally connected organizations, along with qualified nonprofit partners, to lead mentoring initiatives tailored to the needs of tribal youth and the realities of local service delivery.
Overall, this grant opportunity is aimed at increasing the availability and effectiveness of mentoring for at risk tribal youth by investing in community level programs that can grow stronger over time, respond to mentor shortages and service access barriers, and better support youth who may need specialized approaches due to emotional or behavioral challenges. For applicants seeking the full announcement but experiencing access issues, the listed technical support contact is Al Roddy at 202 616 4506.
