This is a Modification to the Native Language Preservation and Maintenance Planning Program Announcement, HHS-2009-ACF-ANA-NL-0033, published to the ACF Grant Opportunities webpage on December 5, 2008.  The application procedures are hereby modified.

Summary:

Executive Summary:  The Administration for Native Americans (ANA), within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), announces the availability of Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 funds for new community-based activities under ANA's Native Language Preservation and Maintenance Planning program area.  Native Language Planning grants are used to plan a language project.

Purpose of Modification:  To clarify how to figure the non- Federal share that is required, per Section III, Part 2 Cost Sharing or Matching of the PA.  Currently, the PA explains the NFS calculation using incorrect figures.  Both the Federal request amount and the total project costs are identified as $125,000, with a NFS amount of $25,000.  To correct the calculation, the Federal request amount should be revised to $100,000. 

Modification to the published announcement:

Please delete the following under Section III, Part 2 Cost Sharing or Matching.

For example, in order to meet the match requirements, a project requesting $125,000, in ACF (Federal) funds must provide a non-Federal share of the approved total project cost of at least $25,000, which is 20 percent of total approved project cost of $125,000.

Please replace the deleted language under Section III, Part 2 Cost Sharing or Matching.
with the following:

For example, in order to meet the match requirements, a project requesting $100,000, in ACF (Federal) funds must provide a non-Federal share of the approved total project cost of at least $25,000, which is 20 percent of total approved project cost of $125,000.

All information in this modification is accurate and replaces information specified in the December 5, 2008 Program Announcement.
