Federal Grant Award Summary

The Klamath Tribes received a $434,644 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service under the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR, CFDA 10.567), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. The award supports the tribe's administration and operation of nutrition assistance services for income-eligible households residing on or near the Klamath Indian Reservation in Chiloquin, Oregon.

Under this award, The Klamath Tribes will administer FDPIR by certifying eligible households, procuring supplemental monthly food packages from over 100 available USDA Foods, and distributing these items to qualified participants. The program provides an alternative to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) for tribal members with limited access to SNAP offices or authorized retailers. Eligible households receive monthly food packages selected according to federal guidelines based on household size, with available items including frozen and canned meats, beans, produce, dairy, grains, and oils. The administrative funding enables the tribe to maintain household case files, manage certification periods, coordinate food ordering and storage, and ensure compliance with federal program requirements through the two-year performance period.
