Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2011 Tribal Youth National Mentoring Program (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2011 2885) is a discretionary grant opportunity administered through the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, under CFDA 16.731 (Tribal Youth Program). The purpose of the solicitation is to fund national-level initiatives that can strengthen and expand mentoring services for tribal youth living on the reservations of federally recognized tribes. Rather than funding a single local mentoring project in one community, the emphasis is on national initiatives that help community programs develop, mature, and grow, with the goal of improving mentoring access and quality for tribal youth across multiple reservation settings.
A central focus of the program is reaching tribal youth who are currently underserved or harder to reach. The solicitation highlights several reasons youth may be underserved, including geographic isolation and the realities of remote reservation locations, limited availability of mentors, and the need to serve youth with emotional or behavioral challenges. The opportunity also leaves room for tribes to identify additional local conditions or circumstances that create service gaps, signaling that applicants should be prepared to support mentoring approaches that are responsive to tribal priorities and the specific challenges different communities face.
Eligibility is broad in terms of organizational types (including federally recognized tribal governments, tribal organizations, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, public and private institutions of higher education, small businesses, other for-profit entities that are not small businesses, and public or Indian housing authorities). However, the solicitation places an important practical limitation on who may apply: applicants are limited to national organizations. These national organizations may partner with other national organizations as subgrantees, and partnerships can include tribal, community-based, secular, and faith-based nonprofit organizations as well as federally recognized Indian tribal governments. This structure indicates OJJDP was seeking an entity with the capacity to operate and coordinate at a national scale, while still enabling tribal and community partners to play direct roles through subawards and collaboration.
The program does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which reduces barriers for applicants and can make participation more feasible for organizations and partners that may not have flexible resources to meet match requirements. The award ceiling and floor are listed as 0 in the provided data, which typically indicates that specific award amounts were either not stated in that summary record or were detailed in the full announcement rather than the short listing. The official timeline shows the opportunity was posted December 28, 2010, with an original and current closing date of February 28, 2011, and it was later archived on November 9, 2011.
From an authorization standpoint, the solicitation notes that the program would be supported through an act appropriating funds to the Department of Justice, reflecting that this is federally appropriated funding administered through DOJ/OJJDP. For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Amy Callaghan, Senior Advisor, reachable by phone at 202-514-9292, with an email referenced in the source listing.
