The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Administration for Native Americans (ANA), is forecasting a grant opportunity titled "Native American Language Preservation and Maintenance." This program aims to provide funding for projects that assess the status of native languages within communities and support the planning, design, restoration, and implementation of language curriculum and education initiatives to achieve language preservation goals. The initiative is particularly significant for Native American communities, including federally recognized and non-federally recognized tribes, Native Hawaiians, Alaskan Natives, and Native American Pacific Islanders, as it seeks to enhance cultural heritage and community identity through language. Interested applicants can apply for funding ranging from $100,000 to $900,000, with an estimated total program funding of $9 million and an expected nine awards. Applications must be submitted electronically by April 14, 2025, with the anticipated award date set for June 30, 2025. For further inquiries, applicants can contact Carmelia Strickland at (202) 401-6741 or via email at Carmelia.Strickland@acf.hhs.gov.
