Family Preservation - Improving the Well-Being of Children Project Planning

archived

The Administration for Native Americans (ANA), within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), announces the availability of Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 funds for projects that plan for approaches to improve child well-being by removing barriers associated with strengthening families (including fatherhood, parenting, foster parenting, grandparents raising grandchildren and absentee parent activities), forming and preserving healthy families, relationships and marriages (including Traditional Native American and Pacific Basin marriages) and sustaining healthy families, relationships and marriages in Native American and Pacific Basin communities. ANA's FY 2009 goals and program areas of interest are focused on strengthening children, families and communities through financial assistance to community-based organizations including faith-based organizations, Tribes and Village governments. Purpose of Modification: To clarify how to figure the non-Federal share (NFS) 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.
