Opportunity Information: Apply for P23AS00023
The Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Culture and Arts Development Grant Program is a discretionary federal grant administered by the National Park Service (NPS) under the authority of the Secretary of the Interior. Its core purpose is to strengthen and expand Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian culture and arts efforts by funding programs that preserve, revitalize, support, and grow both traditional and contemporary cultural expression. In practice, the program is meant to back work that sustains living cultures, including language and history initiatives as well as visual arts, performing arts, crafts, literature, and related cultural knowledge systems.
Funding is intended to enhance culture and arts programming in a few main ways. Projects can focus on scholarly study and instruction in traditional and contemporary arts and cultural practices; they can help create or expand centers and educational programs, including programs that lead to degrees in Alaska Native or Native Hawaiian art and culture; and they can support community-based development of arts and culture through coordinated efforts that preserve and strengthen evolving forms of Indigenous art and culture (referencing the federal definition of Indian art and culture in 20 U.S.C. 4402(1)). The opportunity description highlights a wide range of eligible activities and formats, such as departments or programs within arts and sciences, fellowship opportunities, seminars, scholar-in-residence programs, cooperative programs between institutions (including national and international partnerships), and subject areas like museology and learning resource centers alongside language, performance, and visual arts.
Eligibility is limited to organizations and institutions that primarily serve and represent Native Hawaiians or Alaska Natives and that have been formally recognized by the Governor of Hawaii or the Governor of Alaska (as appropriate) specifically to make the entity eligible for these grants. The eligible applicant types listed include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments, other tribal organizations, and nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), as long as the program-specific requirements about whom they serve and gubernatorial recognition are met.
This grant program was introduced as a new program in Fiscal Year 2022 and was funded through Public Law 117-103, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022, which provided $250,000 for FY 2022 with the explicit goal of encouraging new entities to apply. For the specific opportunity notice provided (Funding Opportunity Number P23AS00023), the award ceiling is $250,000. The posted closing date for that announcement was October 31, 2022. Award administration and budgeting follow the federal cost principles in 2 CFR 200, Subpart E, which governs what costs are allowable, reasonable, and allocable under the grant.Apply for P23AS00023
