Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The WCD WIC Program received a Formula Grant award of $3.42M from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service for WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children) administrative expenses, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. This funding supports the operational infrastructure and administrative functions necessary for the tribal government entity to serve as the local WIC program administrator in Anadarko, Oklahoma, under CFDA 10.557.

The award funds critical administrative services that enable comprehensive WIC program delivery to low-income pregnant women, breastfeeding and postpartum mothers, and children up to age five who meet nutritional risk criteria. Through this grant, WCD WIC Program maintains the administrative capacity to distribute supplemental nutritious foods, provide nutrition education with emphasis on breastfeeding promotion and support, coordinate peer counselor services, and facilitate referrals to health and social services within its service community. The organization's sustained receipt of consistent Formula Grant awards since 2021 reflects its established role in administering WIC services and maintaining the necessary program infrastructure for vulnerable populations in the Anadarko area.
