Federal Grant Award Summary

The Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Reservation received a formula grant award of $1,134,711.00 from the Office of Child Care under the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Mandatory and Matching Funds program (CFDA 93.596). The award, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028, supports child care services designed to assist low-income families within the tribal community in accessing affordable, quality child care while parents work or pursue education and training.

Under this three-year award, the Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Reservation will utilize funding to improve child care affordability and enhance the quality of child care services for tribal members. As the designated lead agency, the tribe must develop and implement a comprehensive Child Care and Development Fund plan that complies with the Child Care Development Block Grant Act requirements, including establishing sliding fee scales, defining payment rates, and coordinating services with other federal, state, and local child care and early childhood development programs. The mandatory funding stream ensures sustained support for these critical child care initiatives independent of annual appropriations.
