Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

Inter Tribal Council Inc. received a $550,161.00 formula grant award from the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC, CFDA 10.557) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. This award specifically supports WIC administrative expenses for the organization's operations serving nine federally recognized tribes in northeastern Oklahoma. As a tribally designated WIC provider, Inter Tribal Council Inc. uses these administrative funds to maintain the infrastructure and operational capacity necessary to deliver WIC services to income-eligible pregnant women, breastfeeding and postpartum women, infants, and children up to age five in the Miami, Oklahoma service area.

Under the WIC program administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, formula grants to tribal organizations support the administrative backbone of direct benefit delivery, including participant certification, nutrition education with breastfeeding promotion and support, health and social service referrals, and food vendor management. This funding enables Inter Tribal Council Inc. to maintain WIC clinic operations and ensure eligible Native American families in northeastern Oklahoma have access to supplemental nutrition assistance and supportive services consistent with federal WIC program standards.
