Federal Project Grant Award Summary

Dream Dine Charter School received a $162,467.00 Project Grant award from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award specifically addresses Section 7003 of Title VII, which provides financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) educating federally connected children—those living on federal property or with parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. The funding compensates for lost local property tax revenue that would otherwise be unavailable to support education in these federally impacted districts.

As a Native American-owned charter school serving the Navajo Nation in Shiprock, New Mexico, Dream Dine Charter School will utilize Impact Aid funds to support educational operations and services for Native American students in this rural community. The award reflects the school's ongoing eligibility and demonstrated track record in securing federal educational funding, with previous grants focused on Indian Education Formula Grants and the Small, Rural School Achievement Program. Impact Aid payments under this award are computed according to statutory formula and will be distributed annually to help sustain the school's educational programming and operational capacity.
