The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Navajo Nation Tribal Government $4,314,475.86 on October 1, 2025, under the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR, CFDA 10.567), a Project Grant with performance through September 30, 2027, and place of performance at Window Rock, Arizona.

FDPIR provides USDA Foods to income-eligible households on Indian reservations as an alternative to SNAP. The Navajo Nation administers the program by certifying eligible households, ordering from over 100 available domestically purchased foods including frozen and canned meats and fish, beans, peanut butter, frozen and canned fruits and vegetables, pasta, rice, cereal, dairy, and oil/butter, and distributing monthly food packages based on Federal guide rates tied to household size. The program also includes fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs through a partnership between USDA and the Department of Defense Defense Logistics Agency. The Navajo Nation maintains household case files and program records for three years following the close of the fiscal year and certifies households for certification periods not to exceed one year, except elderly or disabled households may be certified for up to 24 months if circumstances are stable. Households may not participate in FDPIR and SNAP simultaneously in the same month. Obligated funding supports program administration across the Navajo Nation's 27,000 square mile jurisdiction spanning Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah.
