The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Navajo Nation Tribal Government $127,437 on October 1, 2025, as a formula grant for WIC administration under the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (CFDA 10.557). The award, designated WIC ADMIN NON APPRO, funds non-appropriated administrative expenses for the WIC program, which provides supplemental nutritious foods, nutrition education, and health care referrals to income-eligible pregnant, breastfeeding and postpartum women, infants, and children up to age five determined to be at nutritional risk. Performance occurs in Window Rock, Arizona, with a period of performance from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The Navajo Nation, a federally recognized sovereign tribe with 392,962 enrolled members and jurisdiction spanning 27,000 square miles across Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah, operates WIC program services directly to tribal members through its Division of Health and related administrative departments. WIC is authorized under the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 as amended, and formula grants are awarded to state and tribal agencies in accordance with funding formulas established by program legislation and regulations.
