Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The Omaha Tribe of Nebraska received a formula grant award of $210,801.00 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service under the WIC Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (CFDA 10.557), obligated on October 1, 2025, with a performance period through September 30, 2026. This award specifically funds WIC administrative expenses required to support program operations at the tribal level.

The funding supports the tribe's administrative infrastructure necessary to deliver WIC services to income-eligible pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, infants, and children up to age five who are determined to be at nutritional risk. Administrative expenses under WIC formula grants typically cover operational costs such as staff salaries, certification activities, nutrition education program coordination, health and social service referrals, and other administrative functions essential to program delivery. As one of 33 Indian Tribal Organizations operating WIC programs nationwide, the Omaha Tribe utilizes these federal resources to administer supplemental nutrition services to its tribal community members in and around Macy, Nebraska.
