Project Grant 267CAYU4Q5206

The Yurok Tribe received a $570,987 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service under the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR, CFDA 10.567) for the performance period of October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027. This award provides administrative funding to support the Tribe's operation of the FDPIR nutrition assistance program, which delivers monthly supplemental food packages to income-eligible households residing on or near the Yurok Tribe's reservation in Klamath, California.

Under this grant, the Yurok Tribe administers program services including household eligibility certification based on SNAP income standards, selection and distribution of USDA Foods to eligible beneficiaries, and maintenance of required program records and documentation. The FDPIR food package comprises over 100 domestically sourced items such as frozen and canned meats and fish, beans, peanut butter, frozen and canned fruits and vegetables, pasta, rice, cereals, dairy products, and oils or butter. The award provides funding for operational and administrative expenses necessary to deliver these services to tribal community members who lack convenient access to SNAP offices or authorized food retailers.
