WIC Admin Expenses Formula Grant Award Summary

The Pueblo of Isleta received $490,478 in federal funding through a Formula Grant 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). The award, obligated on October 1, 2025, with a performance period through September 30, 2026, is designated specifically for WIC administrative expenses. These funds support the operational infrastructure necessary to deliver the WIC program, which provides supplemental nutritious foods, nutrition education (including 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 who are determined to be at nutritional risk.

As a federally recognized Native American tribe, the Pueblo of Isleta's Governor's Office will utilize these administrative resources to manage program operations across the tribal service area in Isleta Village Proper, New Mexico. The administrative funding supports critical functions including participant certification, food instrument issuance and redemption oversight, program coordination, and compliance with federal regulatory requirements. This award reflects the Department of Agriculture's continued commitment to extending WIC program support to Indian Tribal Organizations, enabling the Pueblo of Isleta to maintain comprehensive nutrition assistance services for its approximately 5,003 enrolled members.
