Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2018 ACF ANA NL 1342
The Native American Language Preservation and Maintenance grant opportunity is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), specifically the Administration for Native Americans (ANA). For Fiscal Year 2018, this program was designed to help Native communities protect, strengthen, and continue the use of their Native languages by supporting practical, community-driven language preservation work.
At its core, the program funds projects that help a community understand the current condition of its language and then take concrete steps to maintain or revitalize it. This includes language status assessments within an established community (for example, documenting how many speakers remain, what age groups are speaking, where the language is used, and what barriers exist). It also supports planning and design work for language initiatives, along with more direct restoration and implementation activities such as developing curricula, creating teaching materials, and running language education efforts that align with the community's language preservation goals. The emphasis is on building or strengthening language curriculum and educational programming that can realistically be used in the community.
Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments, Native American tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized tribal governments), nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education), and other applicants as allowed under the opportunity's additional eligibility guidance. The program is intended to serve Native American communities broadly defined here as American Indian tribes (both federally recognized and non-federally recognized), Native Hawaiians, Alaskan Natives, and Native American Pacific Islanders.
This funding opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2018-ACF-ANA-NL-1342 and is associated with CFDA 93.587, within the activity area of Income Security and Social Services. Awards were offered as grants, with an award ceiling of $300,000 per project, and ANA anticipated making about 8 awards under this announcement. The opportunity was posted on February 6, 2018, and the original application deadline was April 9, 2018, with electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
Overall, this grant targets the full pipeline of language preservation and maintenance work, from assessing language vitality and readiness, to planning and designing effective approaches, to implementing curriculum and community language education projects that support long-term language continuity.Apply for HHS 2018 ACF ANA NL 1342
