The Catawba Indian Nation received a $2.12 million Block Grant from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) under the Facilities Operations and Maintenance program (CFDA 15.048), awarded June 3, 2025, with completion by December 31, 2028. This funding supports the basic operating services and maintenance of Bureau-owned or Bureau-operated non-educational facilities located on the Catawba Indian Nation's 1,012-acre reservation in Rock Hill, South Carolina. The award enables the tribe to maintain critical community infrastructure in safe operating condition, ensuring facilities remain functional for the delivery of essential Bureau programs and tribal services across the reservation.

Funding allocation is determined based on facility characteristics including age, condition, size, and utility costs. As a federally recognized Indian tribe with existing Bureau-owned or Bureau-operated facilities on its reservation, the Catawba Indian Nation meets the eligibility requirements under 25 CFR Part 900. The award is renewable upon satisfactory performance and continued facility use, with the tribe required to submit a notice of intent to renew at least 90 days prior to the December 31, 2028 expiration date if continued funding is desired.
