Opportunity Overview
The Wisconsin Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Programs is accepting the noncompetitive Title II: Indian Tribes Turnback FY2022 (2027) application for the Sokaogon Chippewa Community. Funding supports juvenile justice and delinquency-prevention programming for Native youth, including positive youth development and community-based alternatives.
Deadline and Funding
The application must be submitted through Wisconsin DOJ WebGrants on or before October 9, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. The controlling grant announcement does not state a time zone, so Atlas does not infer one. A total of $18,598 is available as one award to the Sokaogon Chippewa Community. No match is required. The anticipated project period is January 1, 2027 through September 30, 2027.
Eligibility and Eligible Activities
The Sokaogon Chippewa Community is the sole eligible applicant identified in the announcement. Eligible program examples include mentoring, community-based alternatives to detention, mental health and substance use disorder services, family-strengthening and family-support services including therapy, and after-school educational, recreational, or employment activities for youth.
Eligible Costs and Application Structure
Eligible budget categories include Personnel, Employee Benefits, Travel and Training, Supplies and Operating Expenses, Consultants and Contractual, and Indirect Costs. The application requires a concise project summary, a narrative describing the local need and project approach, at least three SMART goals with action steps and outcome measures, and detailed budget information. The applicant should follow the exact WebGrants prompts and current Wisconsin DOJ announcement.
Atlas Strategic Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 93/100. This is a highly actionable Wisconsin opportunity because it is noncompetitive, names a single eligible applicant, and directly supports youth behavioral-health, substance-use, family-support, and delinquency-prevention activities.
QC Healthcare Fit: 85/100. Mental health, substance use disorder, family therapy, and related youth support services are expressly named program examples.
N9+ Direct Vendor Fit: 15/100. Supplies and contractual expenses are allowable budget categories, but the announcement does not specifically establish telehealth or remote-exam equipment as allowable. Any N9+ role should be considered only if the Tribe documents a direct need within an approved project and Wisconsin DOJ confirms the cost is allowable. Atlas does not recommend forcing equipment into the project.
Direct Applicant Fit for Dr. Miltie, LLC: 0/100. The Sokaogon Chippewa Community is the sole eligible applicant.
Application Strategy
Confirm the Tribe’s selected youth need and service model, align activities with the DOJ announcement, define at least three measurable SMART goals, identify project partners where applicable, and build the budget only from expressly eligible cost categories. Submit through Wisconsin DOJ WebGrants by the stated deadline.
