The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Rosebud Sioux Tribe $1.508 million on October 1, 2025, under the WIC Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (CFDA 10.557) to fund WIC food expenses.
The award supports supplemental nutritious foods for income-eligible pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, infants, and children up to age five determined to be at nutritional risk. Performance occurs in Rosebud, South Dakota, with a completion date of September 30, 2026. This is a formula grant, part of the WIC program's allocation to tribal governments as State-equivalent agencies under the Child Nutrition Act of 1966, as amended. The Rosebud Sioux Tribe administers WIC as a pass-through program delivering direct nutritional assistance to eligible tribal members on the Rosebud Indian Reservation.
