Announcements Training Events

Join us for an ANA Pre-Application Training across the Pacific!

The Administration for Native Americans (ANA) Notice of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs) are live!

Learn how to develop a competitive application before the May 20 deadline. 

ANA will offer up to $1.5 million in grants to fund three- to five-year projects addressing social and economic development; cultural preservation and perpetuation; Native language immersion, preservation and maintenance, and more.

Are you developing a project to help your Native community? Do you work for or with a nonprofit organization that is led by and serves Native communities of Amerika Sāmoa, CNMI, Guåhan, or Hawai’i?  

Join our Pacific Region Training & Technical Assistance Specialists at one of the following free, two-day ANA Pre-Application Trainings across the Pacific to learn how to prepare a competitive application for an ANA grant.  


What to Expect at a Pre-Application Training 

In these two-day trainings, we’ll go through this year’s Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFOS), share tips on how to articulate the strengths of your community-based project effectively, take a deep dive into the evaluation criteria reviewers will use to score your application, and go over the step-by-step process of how to submit an application. 

Due to limited capacity, we will not be able to accept walk-in participants. Registration is required and participants are requested to attend both days of the training events. 

 

Eligibility 

Registering organizations must be eligible for ANA grant funding. If your nonprofit serves Native Hawaiian, Samoan, Chamorro, Carolinian, Native American, or Alaska Native peoples, and if your Board of Directors is 51% or more Native-led, then you are eligible for this free training.

Please see registration forms linked below for more details on eligibility requirements and registrant information.
