Federal Grant Award Summary

The Puyallup Tribe of Indians received a Formula Grant award of $1,117,584.00 from the 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 the tribe's efforts to provide child care services to low-income families within its service area. The funding enables the Puyallup Tribe to subsidize child care costs for eligible families, enhance the quality of child care services, and support early childhood development initiatives consistent with the CCDF program's core objectives.

As a federally recognized tribal government, the Puyallup Tribe serves approximately 18,000 urban Native Americans in the Tacoma, Washington area and has established itself as a comprehensive service provider. This three-year award supports the tribe's child care initiatives through mandatory and matching fund allocations under the Social Security Act, requiring the tribe to submit a three-year CCDF plan and maintain compliance with applicable regulations and reporting requirements specified in 45 CFR Parts 98 and 99. The funding advances the tribe's commitment to providing culturally relevant, community-specific interventions that strengthen economic opportunity and family stability within the tribal community.
