Dream Dine Charter School, a Native American-owned, non-profit educational institution located in Shiprock, New Mexico, within the Navajo Nation, serves as the recipient. Section 7003 of Impact Aid assists school districts where at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on federal property, including Indian lands, or have a parent who works on federal property or is on active duty in the uniformed services. The program replaces lost local revenue resulting from federal property exemption from local property taxes.

The award period runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. Performance occurs in Shiprock, New Mexico 87420. Dream Dine Charter School has received consistent federal educational funding since 2021, including concurrent Indian Education Formula Grants and Small, Rural School Achievement Program awards, reflecting ongoing eligibility and demonstrated success in securing educational funding for rural Native American students.
