The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded Inter-Tribal Council of Arizona Inc. $3.799 million on October 1, 2025, under the WIC Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (CFDA 10.557) formula grant for WIC administrative expenses.
The recipient, a Phoenix-based 501(c)(3) tribally owned nonprofit representing 21 of Arizona's 22 federally recognized tribes, administers the WIC program for eligible pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, infants, and children up to age five determined to be at nutritional risk across tribal communities. The award covers the period of performance from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with place of performance in Phoenix, Arizona 85004.
This formula grant represents one component of Inter-Tribal Council's substantial WIC program portfolio. In the same October 2025 award cycle, the organization received $3.9 million for WIC food expenses and additional awards for breastfeeding peer counselor services and WIC technology upgrades, all for the identical fiscal year period. Inter-Tribal Council operates as the primary recipient and passes funding through sub-recipients to deliver WIC services to tribal beneficiaries across Arizona.
