Who is the Administration for Native Americans? What activities does ANA fund? Where can I get more information on ANA? How many copies should I send? Who is the Administration for Native Americans? The Administration for Native Americans (ANA) is a federal agency within the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF). The head of ANA is the Commissioner, who is one of four Native American Presidential appointees. The authorizing legislation for ANA is the Native American Programs Act of 1974 with amendments. The mission of ANA is to promote the goal of social and economic self-sufficiency for American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians and other Native American Pacific Islanders. ANA provides eligible applicants with the opportunity to submit for Discretionary Grants in three funding areas:
Under SEDS applicants have the opportunity to submit for one of three goals:
What activities does ANA fund? ANA is the only Federal Discretionary Grant program to serve the eligible entities in support of the diverse array of fundable activities. Additionally, ANA is the only Federal office that provides funding for the preservation and maintenance of Native Languages. Each of the three grant competitions have Program Areas of Interest, which can be found in the program announcements. ANA has always included in the program announcement a listing of proposed projects to be funded. The list was always non-inclusive. This is also true for the new Program Areas of Interest. Eligibility for funding is not restricted to projects of the type listed under each specific program announcement but these Program Areas of Interest are ones that ANA sees as particularly beneficial to the development of healthy Native American Communities. Program Areas of Interest align with Departmental and ACF priorities and initiatives. Where can I get more information on ANA?
How many copies should I send?
The original and two (2) copies of your application are required for submission. To ensure completeness of applications and proper labeling of sections applicants may want to provide these copies. The type of binding and labeling of the application is up to the applicant, but is extremely helpful during the review process.
