Formula Grant 26RDWACCDF

The Snoqualmie Indian Tribe received a $273,465 formula grant award from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families, Office of Child Care, under the Child Care Mandatory and Matching Funds of the Child Care and Development Fund (CFDA 93.596). The award, effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028, supports the tribe's efforts to help low-income families access affordable, quality child care services while enabling parents to work or pursue education and training opportunities.

The funding supports the tribe's child care initiatives in accordance with the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act, which requires the tribal lead agency to develop a comprehensive three-year Child Care and Development Fund plan addressing child care affordability, service quality improvement, and child development promotion. As a federally recognized tribal government, the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe will administer these mandatory and matching funds to expand child care access within its community, with compliance requirements including designated lead agency administration, public hearing processes, sliding fee scale establishment, and adherence to federal audit and record retention standards outlined in 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F.
