Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The Otoe-Missouria Tribe received a formula grant award of $312,373.00 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, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, supports WIC food expenses—specifically the provision of supplemental nutritious foods to income-eligible pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, infants, and children up to age five who meet nutritional risk criteria in Red Rock, Oklahoma.

As a federally recognized Indian Tribal Organization, the Otoe-Missouria Tribe operates WIC services through its local clinics and community-based service delivery sites. The formula grant funding enables the tribe to deliver one of the three core WIC program components—supplemental foods—while the overall program infrastructure also encompasses nutrition education with emphasis on breastfeeding promotion and referrals to health and social services. This award reflects sustained federal investment in the tribe's commitment to addressing child nutrition and maternal health needs within its service area.
