Cantwell Native Village Of

Cantwell Native Village Of, a federally recognized Indian tribe headquartered in Cantwell, Alaska, acts as a prime recipient of federal grants focused on library services, environmental management, and broadband infrastructure for its tribal community. The vendor does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles and operates exclusively in the grant space, with all 27 awards in the source data as prime recipient work carrying no sub-awards.

Cantwell's grant portfolio centers on two capability areas. Library services and operations dominate the award footprint — the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science together account for 18 of 24 tracked awards (covering 89% of recent activity), with recurring annual project grants supporting acquisition of books, e-books, subscriptions, audiovisual materials, library supplies, staff salary, professional development training, and internet service fees. Environmental and infrastructure work represents the secondary capability: a $134,000 EPA Region 10 Indian Environmental General Assistance Program grant (CFDA 66.926) awarded October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026 supports capacity building in grants management, expansion of waste management and recycling services (including a collaborative woodstove pellet plant operation with Denali Borough), and baseline water quality sampling at eight community locations. Cantwell also received a formula grant from the Department of the Treasury under the Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund, effective May 30, 2023 through December 31, 2026, to fund critical capital projects enabling work, education, and health monitoring with eligible broadband infrastructure projects requiring symmetrical 100 Mbps service delivery.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward library-focused grantors. The National Commission on Libraries and Information Science leads with 10 awards; the Institute of Museum and Library Services follows with 8 awards, including recurring Native American Library Services Basics grants in fiscal years 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 (most recently August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2027). The Environmental Protection Agency Region 10 and EPA headquarters together account for 3 awards. Across eight distinct customer agencies, total obligated dollars across the full award history stand at $3.1 million, with activity averaging less than one award per year over the past five years. Two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months.
