Overview 

The Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC) 

recommends the following skills for sustainability: 

• Consistency: Start planning for sustainability 

early in the grant cycle. If you are not in the 

early stages of the grant cycle anymore, start 

now. 

• Prioritize: Decide what efforts to maintain 

after funding ends. Ask what worked best, 

what is most needed, and what can 

realistically be kept going. 

• Plan: Build on partners’ ability and willingness to take on key roles in program activities. 

Ask who is best able to take on things being done under the grant. 

• Implement: Training, procedures, and policy are lasting pieces that can help sustain 

suicide prevention and postvention. 

• Document: Collect and share data about program successes, outcomes, and processes, and 

strategize how to communicate program results.1 

This toolkit will provide steps, guidance, and resources for you to work on these core skills 

and make sure key aspects of your Native Connections (NC) project live on into the future. 

This includes activities that can be maintained at low or no cost.

The Native Connections Approach 

All planning, activities, and evaluation of the grant should start with the NC Approach (see 

Page 3). Sustainability is built into the approach, which emphasizes communities’ strengths 

and identity. It builds on existing resources to increase skills with planning experience, 

gatekeeper and other training, and evaluation tasks. All these skills contribute to 

sustainability efforts. 

Youth, family, and community are at the center of the NC Approach. They should also be the 

center of your Sustainability Plan. A successful plan will use the tools in the Approach—the 

Community System Analysis (CSA), the Community Readiness Model (CRM), and the 

Strategic Action Plan (SAP). It will also be based on evaluation data you have collected. 

Sustainability Process using the Native Connections 

Approach 

Figure 1 on the following page shows steps for sustainability around the NC Approach. The 

steps start on the right-hand side of the graphic and are numbered in the order they should be 

followed: 

1. Review the CSA to decide which partners are the best fit for working together to sustain 

the successful activities of the grant. 

2. Review the most recent CRM. With the CRM levels of readiness in mind, determine 

what activities are appropriate to sustain in the community. 

3. Review the SAP and objective outcomes, then decide which activities have a chance of 

being sustained. 

4. Review the data gathered through the life of the grant to help choose successful 

activities for sustainability. 

As you review the NC Approach, focus on the strengths of the community and grant activities 

that have been successful.

Using the Native Connections Approach in Grant Writing 

If you have followed the NC Approach, you have already been planning for sustainability. 

The CSA, CRM, procedure and policy development, data collection, and using data for 

evaluation are all key elements of sustainability. These are the tools and activities that will 

help you develop a realistic, community-specific sustainability plan. 

The Role of the Community System Analysis 

The CSA is one type of asset mapping, which is a process of identifying strengths and 

resources of a community. Many grant proposals require or would be improved by an asset 

map of the community. Since the CSA is updated throughout the NC grant, it is a living 

document that can be used both as a current asset map and also to show that asset mapping 

skills exist in the community. 

The Role of Community Readiness Model Scoring in Grant 

Application 

The CRM is a scientifically-validated tool to assess how ready a community is to address an 

issue. It helps create community- and culturally-specific interventions, and can be used in 

grant applications. It is a good way to assess the community’s need for a specific grant. It can 

also be used for evaluation, if that is a grant requirement. NC staff has been trained in the 

scoring process, so the skills needed to do a CSA exist in the community. As you know, the 

CRM can be used for other issues besides suicide prevention. This combination of skills in 

assessment and evaluation could help secure future grants. Likewise, a grant that targets a 

community’s level of readiness would not only have a better chance of being funded, it would 

have a better chance of succeeding. 

The Role of the Strategic Action Plan 

Reviewing the SAP for what was successful and what to sustain is one of the first steps in 

sustainability planning. In addition, the skills to develop, follow, update, and evaluate an 

action plan can be listed in a grant application. This could help in the success of an 

application.

Sustaining the Benefits of the Native Connections 

Approach 

The first step in sustaining the benefits of the NC Approach is to identify what other agencies 

in the community might benefit from the skills of the CSA, CRM, and SAP. Partners may be 

able to benefit from portions of the SAP or planning skills the Community Advisory Board 

(CAB) has developed over the course of the grant. Ask, “What agency or project would be the 

best fit to take over the tools and data that have been developed? Who is in the best position 

to carry progress made through the NC project forward into the future?” 

Too often, the materials, activities, and results from a program are lost once the grant ends. 

When the next grant comes along, efforts start again from scratch. This results in lost time and 

wasted effort, and it can also create a sense of futility and hopelessness. Examples that have 

led to problems early on in a grant include: staffing issues, such as hiring and retention 

challenges, lost time and productivity, and too few staff to accomplish grant requirements; 

misunderstanding the goals or objectives of the grant because those who wrote the proposal 

are no longer on staff; and lack of guidance within the funding opportunity announcmenet or 

request for proposals regarding a sustainability plan. 

To avoid losing both the skills and the hope built in the NC project, directors should look at 

what else in the community is being done for prevention. Then they should ask who would 

benefit from having the materials developed by the NC project. What grants or agencies are 

working in prevention that might best be able to use the materials to advance to the next step? 

Later in this toolkit, we will look more in depth at partnerships and community support.

Deciding What to Sustain 

It is important to establish a CAB early in the 

grant cycle, with the right people seated in a 

formal capacity to provide organized oversight 

throughout the life of your grant. If a dedicated 

advisory board is seated, it is much more likely 

the community will be able to sustain efforts 

after the grant ends. When developing a 

sustainability plan in the first year or 2 of a 

grant, the CAB should answer these questions: 

1. What would be the most important aspects of the program to sustain? 

2. What can we realistically sustain? 

3. What actions need to be taken to build community solutions that will last? 

The following steps will help the CAB decide what to sustain and develop a plan for how to 

do it. Sustainability should be a part of the CAB focus and responsibility at each meeting, so 

that actions taken, progress made, and actions left to complete can be mapped out and 

monitored. 

Step 1: Assess current objectives 

Start by going back to the objectives in your grant application, SAP, or logic model. For each 

objective, ask yourself: 

 Has the project been successful in meeting this objective? If so, what changed after this 

objective was implemented? Can this change be sustained? 

 Which parts of the project’s work have momentum? 

• What has helped it move forward? 

• Whose support has been key? 

Step 2: Assess possibility of sustaining objectives that have momentum 

The CAB should address the following questions: 

 What would be the most important thing achieved to keep going? 

6 

 What is already sustained? 
 

 

 

 

 What should and could be sustained but needs more work? 

 What partners are or should be involved in the efforts we think are most important to 

sustain? 

Step 3: Assess possibilities for funding that are realistic to pursue 

The CAB should address the following questions: 

 Do any partners have funding or other resources that could address our high-priority 

objectives? 

 Is there any funding available from the tribe, the state, or local entities? 

 Are there grant opportunities that we could pursue? 

Step 4: Develop a Sustainability Plan using a format similar to the SAP 

The CAB and partners should meet to develop a plan with objectives, activities, people 

responsible, and timeline for the activities identified in Step 2. Write up the plan and 

distribute it to all parties. 

You can use the worksheet template and sample on the following pages to assess objectives as 

described in Steps 1 and 2 above.

Partnerships and Community Support 

Relationships have always been key to 

Native resilience. These relationships 

include family, elders, peers, agencies 

and organizations, and tribal 

leadership. Sustainability relies on 

these circles, from one-on-one word of 

mouth with family and friends to 

official tribal or village council 

policies. 

Leadership Support 

Funding 

Council buy-in is very helpful to sustaining prevention efforts. If the tribal or village council is 

willing to fund even a quarter-time position, it can be enough to keep prevention activities 

alive. Tribal or village leadership could be asked to help fund the youth council. If you have 

not yet secured council support, in terms of both fiscal and leadership support, you might 

want to develop a list of talking points. This way you are prepared to talk to both individual 

council members and the council as a whole. 

Many NC grantees find that one of the lowest dimension scores on the CRM is leadership. If 

your score on Dimension C: Leadership is still in Vague Awareness or below, the CAB should 

implement the strategies for Levels 1–3 (No Awareness, Denial/Resistance, and Vague 

Awareness). Figure 2 lists some of these activities, which include: 

• Make one-on-one visits with community leaders and members. 

• Visit existing small groups to share information with them about local statistics and 

outcomes achieved by the NC program. 

• Engage local educational and/or health outreach programs to help your efforts to 

engage tribal leadership. 

• Point out media articles that describe local statistics and available services. 

• Continue to submit articles on prevention for tribal newsletters, church bulletins, local 

10 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

newsletters, club newsletters, etc., and post flyers, posters, and billboards. 

• Present prevention information at community health events. 

• Publish newspaper editorials and human-interest articles with general information and 

local implications.2

Local Media 

• Point out/discuss articles with local statistics and available services

Policies 

Getting the tribal council to officially adopt prevention policies is true sustainability. Tribes 

could develop and implement a Tribal Action Plan, which helps communities achieve their 

prevention and treatment goals. Other tribal policies could include alcohol outlet restrictions, 

legal protection for crisis response teams, policies for maintaining safe and drug-free 

neighborhoods, or Tribal Healing to Wellness Courts. 

Protocols 

Agency protocols could be the legacy of the NC project. If crisis response protocols have been 

established or revised in schools, if safety net and warm handoff protocols have been

11 
implemented and codified through a Memorandum of Understanding between mental health 

clinics and schools, this is also sustainability. See the Procedure, Protocol, and Policy 

Development Toolkit for more detailed explanations of these protocols, templates, and 

implementation guidance. 

Public Backing 

If tribal leaders have knowledge of prevention activities, if they talk about prevention activities 

and programs publicly and they show up at events—this all contributes to sustainability. 

Identifying a key champion in leadership who will continue to push prevention efforts after 

the grant is over can help keep awareness levels high. Figure 3 shows the types of support 

tribal leadership can contribute.

Other Agency Support 

Before asking another agency if they have staff or resources to take on an NC activity, you 

need to have a relationship with that agency. The CSA is the starting point for reviewing what 

agencies and groups are in the community. The CAB should review the CSA and hold a 

discussion. This discussion is about relationships, other agencies’ resources, and the next steps 

in reaching out to those who might help sustain objectives identified by the Current Objectives 

Assessment for Sustainability Worksheet (on Page 8.) 

Partners might help promote sustaining prevention in the community by: 

1. Keeping the issue public, 

2. Educating policy makers, 

3. Promoting community buy-in and enhancing community involvement, 

4. Helping obtain state and grant resources, 

5. Advocating for policy change, and/or 

6. Identifying the needs of a community.3 

One sustainability strategy is to promote the NC misson, not just the activities the grant 

developed and delivered. The Community Toolbox4 from the University of Kansas says, 

By promoting your initiative's mission and objectives, you encourage others to take them to heart and 

make them their own. This will increase the overall impact of your work. Promoting the adoption of 

your mission and objectives will also help ensure that your work will continue when or if your group is 

no longer around (heaven forbid!)--or if you simply decide to move on to other things.

No-Cost and Low-Cost Sustainability Efforts 

Sustaining Youth Activities 

Sustain Youth Council and other successful youth activities 

If you have a youth council, discuss what 

it needs to continue. Could it become selfsustaining through youth-led fundraising 

efforts, school-based sponsorship, or 

sponsorship from another organization? 

Talk with the youth council about 

sustainability. It could develop its own 

sustainability plan. This plan might 

include: 

1) Membership recruitment efforts, 

2) Youth asking local businesses for 

funding, 

3) Youth-led social media campaigns, 

4) National youth organization membership, and/or 

5) Appealing to the tribal council for sponsorship and funding. 

A youth council could strengthen peer relationships using teambuilding, creating digital 

stories, and mentoring. Adding cultural components to youth-led efforts helps sustainability. 

Many youth councils have no funding and must operate with the resources and materials from 

the community. These may come from the health center, schools, or a church or traditional 

cultural group. Building relationships with school, church, and health center staff can increase 

the likelihood a youth group is sustained. 

Studies show groups with high rates of retention emphasize youth leadership by providing 

many leadership opportunities. They also have staff who are informed about other youth 

14 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

programs and are community-based.5 NC staff should look to sustain strategies that are 

effective in the community. For example, evidence-based Project Venture, an outdoor 

leadership-style program for youth, has several strategies known to be effective. These can be 

modified to fit your own tribal or village culture and can be carried on through partnerships, 

perhaps with a school or youth group. 

You could look into United National Indian Tribal Youth (UNITY). UNITY’s mission is to 

foster the spiritual, mental, physical, and social development of American Indian and Alaska 

Native youth. This includes helping to build a strong, unified, and self-reliant Native America 

through greater youth involvement. UNITY’s website includes a step-by-step guide to 

establish a UNITY Youth Council.6 Your existing youth council may want to convert to a 

UNITY youth council to take advantage of the many leadership opportunities they offer as 

well as other opportunities, including a suicide prevention initiative called “I will live.” 

Sustain School-Based or Curriculum-Based Activities 

Sustainable youth-focused activities, such as American Indian Life Skills, may be housed in 

schools. Once teachers are trained in delivering the material, the school would just have to 

buy the books. 

Other cultural activities, such as Project Venture or wilderness camp, might be incorporated 

into after school or summer school programming. The cost could be covered by funding that 

supports these programs, such as the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program or 

Title I funding, both from the U.S. Department of Education.

Word of Mouth Promotion 

Discuss word of mouth promotion with the CAB and youth council. This includes talking 

about the strengths of the community and promoting other protective factors. Discussing 

suicide and getting help for mental health and drug and alcohol challenges is also prevention. 

Talking up prevention doesn’t cost anything. This can and should be a life-long goal for 

everyone that has been touched by the NC program. 

People can struggle with what to say to a person they fear may be suicidal. They may also 

struggle generally with talking about suicide. Consider ways to address the various aspects of 

suicide prevention and then come up with an “elevator speech” for one or more of these 

topics, a brief (30-second) speech that you can memorize and have ready for any opportunity. 

For example, you might want to have the information about when a traditional activity 

involving youth occurs and what youth could expect if they decide to participate. (Cultural 

activities have been shown to be a protective factor.) Another example of an elevator speech 

for sustainability might be talking about the fact that support is available for people struggling 

and that therapy helps. 

Social media is another form of “word of mouth” promotion. One sustainable, no-cost activity 

could be having every member of the CAB and the youth group commit to posting once a 

month about something related to suicide prevention. 

Gatekeeper Training 

The NC grant may have sponsored training in evidence-based gatekeeper practices such as 

Mental Health First Aid; Question, Persuade, Refer; or Applied Suicide Intervention Skills 

Training. Promoting these training opportunities with partners may be a low-cost 

sustainability effort. For example, get the local health clinic or school to commit to training 

their staff annually. Many states have gatekeeper training for low or no cost. It is also possible 

16 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

that individual members of the CAB would be willing to pay for their own ongoing “booster” 

training. 

Community Healing Events 

Get community support and partner with the tribal or village council for community 

prevention activities, such as hosting a Gathering of Native Americans or Alaska Natives 

(GONA/GOAN). This could be a low-cost sustainability activity. If several organizations 

contribute funding for such an event, it may be possible to meet the cost of hosting a 

GONA/GOAN for your community. 

If local community members have been trained in GONA/GOAN facilitation, the cost of 

hosting such events may be fairly low. If the community would respond better to an outside 

facilitator, it may be possible to exchange facilitators with another community that also has 

GONA/GOAN facilitators. 

You may also be able to get partners or other stakeholders to host other types of healing 

events, such as a Wiping the Tears ceremony.
