Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The Pueblo De San Felipe Tribal Administration Division received a formula grant award of $545,879 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service on October 1, 2025, to support WIC Administrative Expenses through September 30, 2026. Under the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC, CFDA 10.557), these administrative funds enable the tribal organization to operate WIC clinics and service delivery infrastructure serving income-eligible pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, infants, and children up to age five. The grant supports the operational backbone necessary to deliver the program's three core components: supplemental nutritious foods, nutrition education with emphasis on breastfeeding promotion and support, and referrals to health and social services.

As a federally recognized Indian tribe and established WIC formula grant recipient, Pueblo De San Felipe utilizes this award to maintain administrative capacity for participant certification, nutrition counseling, food instrument issuance and redemption, and program compliance across its service delivery sites in Algodones, New Mexico. The tribe's demonstrated track record managing over $216,000 in FY 2026 WIC nutrition-related funding, combined with historical WIC Modernization awards exceeding $750,000, establishes its capacity to effectively administer federal nutrition assistance programs serving tribal community members.
