WIC Administrative Expenses Formula Grant Award Summary

Eight Northern Indian Pueblos Council, Inc. (ENIPC) received a formula grant award of $338,497 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service for the WIC Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (CFDA 10.557). The award, obligated on October 1, 2025, with a performance period through September 30, 2026, supports administrative expenses associated with WIC program operations serving the eight Northern Pueblos of New Mexico: Nambe, Ohkay Owingeh, Picuris, Pojoaque, Santa Clara, San Ildefonso, Taos, and Tesuque.

The funding supports ENIPC's administrative operations for delivering WIC services, which include supplemental nutritious foods, nutrition education, breastfeeding promotion and support, and referrals to health and social services for income-eligible pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, infants, and children up to age five determined to be at nutritional risk. As a tribal consortium administering the WIC program across its member pueblos, ENIPC uses these administrative funds to facilitate program delivery infrastructure, certification processes, food instrument management, and oversight activities necessary to ensure effective WIC service delivery to Native American populations in northern New Mexico.
