Federal Grant Award Summary

The Rosebud Sioux Tribe received a formula grant award of $671,718 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 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 and early childhood development initiatives for low-income families on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota. As a federally recognized tribal government, the Rosebud Sioux Tribe serves as the lead agency responsible for administering these funds in compliance with the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act requirements.

Under this formula grant, the Tribe provides comprehensive child care support services designed to improve affordability and quality of child care for eligible families while enabling parents to work or pursue education and training. The funding allocation reflects the Tribe's demonstrated capacity in managing federal child care programs, building upon its existing child care and development portfolio exceeding $3.36 million across multiple HHS Administration for Children and Families programs. The award requires the Tribe to maintain a three-year CCDF plan, conduct public hearings, coordinate with other federal and local child care providers, and comply with federal audit and record retention requirements under 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F.
