Greetings:
ACF awards billions of dollars in grant opportunities on an annual basis. These awards are designed to help us carry out our mission, for which we rely upon the work of States, Tribes, and organizations at the local level. In determining which of these projects will be used to execute the ACF mission, we partner with individuals across the nation to serve as objective grant reviewers. Grant reviewers are critical to our grant award process.
As a part of the ACF Accessibility Initiative, key ACF programs are recruiting and engaging new reviewers in the process. The grant review process is mutually beneficial for the Federal government and the reviewers. The Federal government and tax payers benefit from field expertise and knowledge of the reviewers, ensuring that our projects address relevant and emerging issues in the community. At the same time, reviewers obtain knowledge about the Federal grant award process and grant application requirements, which can be taken back to the community and applied when developing proposals.
The purpose of this note is to invite you to register in one of ACF's grant reviewer databases. Below are brief descriptions of some of ACF's key program offices, and links to their respective sites where you can register to become a reviewer. If you have expertise and knowledge in the applicable areas (or know of someone else that does), please follow the link (and/or forward this note) and take the first step in partnering with ACF in its grants review process. If you have already registered with us, thank you for your willingness to partner with us!

Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF): administers the major Federal programs that support social services designed to promote the positive growth and development of children and youth and their families; protective services and shelter for children and youth in at-risk situations; and adoption for children with special needs.

Administration for Native Americans (ANA): promotes the goal of self-sufficiency and cultural preservation for Native Americans by providing social and economic development opportunities through financial assistance, training, and technical assistance to eligible Tribes and Native American communities, including American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and other Native Pacific Islanders organizations.
