About the company
Chief Leschi Schools, a Native American-owned, federally recognized Indian tribe and tax-exempt nonprofit educational institution based in Puyallup, Washington, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient and sub-recipient to deliver culturally informed K–12 education, mental health services, and student support programs to approximately 890 Native American students representing over 60 tribes.
Chief Leschi Schools operates primarily as a grant recipient (57% prime awards, 43% sub-awards) rather than a federal contractor, with no federal contract prime or sub positions in the source record. The organization is registered as a minority-owned, Native American-owned educational institution eligible for Indian Education formula grants and related federal education programs serving a predominantly Native American student body (97% of the student population). The school is located in Edgewood, Washington, with administrative headquarters in Puyallup.
The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education dominates the prime recipient footprint, accounting for six annual Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA 84.060) awards spanning July 2022 through June 2027. Recent prime awards include $219,479 (July 2024–June 2025), $213,317 (July 2025–June 2026), and $209,189 (July 2026–June 2027), deployed for culturally informed academic instruction, teacher professional development, mental health services, suicide prevention programming, and targeted student support. Chief Leschi Schools also received a $1.04 million project grant from the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's Center for Mental Health Services (awarded September 2023, running through September 2028) to fund on-campus mental health therapy and student success coordination addressing high rates of suicide attempts, substance use, and depressive symptoms among the student population.
As a sub-recipient, Chief Leschi Schools draws funding through the Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction for child nutrition program reimbursement and administrative support (18 sub-awards, predominantly September 2023–2024), special education teacher recruitment and retention support (one sub-award, August 2024), and native language instruction expansion through the National Fund for Excellence in American Indian Education (one sub-award, June 2026), which funds a full-time Lushootseed high school instructor and student internship programs teaching indigenous language in area schools.
Activity peaked in 2023 with 11 awards, declined to 10 in 2024, and contracted to 2 in 2025 and 2 in 2026, reflecting the cyclical renewal schedule of the Indian Education formula grant (annual July awards) and sub-recipient nutrition and teacher-support allocations. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The organization has served seven distinct federal agencies across 47 total awards with combined dollars obligated of $11.5 million since 2006.
