About the company
Circle Of Nations, a Native American-owned nonprofit educational institution based in Wahpeton, North Dakota, is a federal grant recipient in the K–12 Indian education and child nutrition space, operating primarily as a sub-recipient (66% of recent awards) on formula grants and nutrition programs flowing from the Department of Education and the Department of Agriculture rather than as a prime grant recipient or contract prime.
Circle Of Nations holds a federally recognized Indian tribe designation and minority institution and minority-owned business certifications. The organization's federal footprint is nearly entirely grant-based; it has received no federal contract awards and holds no seat on contracting vehicles. Its grant work centers on two agency relationships: the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (50 awards across the portfolio) and the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (21 awards), which together account for 100% of recent activity. Circle Of Nations acts as a prime recipient on annual Indian Education Formula Grants to Local Education Agencies from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with successive awards dated July 2022, July 2023, July 2024, July 2025, and July 2026 (the most recent with ultimate completion on June 30, 2027). These formula grants flow to Indian tribes and tribal organizations that operate schools or education programs serving Native American students.
In its sub-recipient role — which dominates the award count — Circle Of Nations receives sub-awards from the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction under federal nutrition programs including the National School Lunch Program (NSLP Free/Reduced and NSLP Paid), School Breakfast Program (SBP), Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP), Child and Adult Care Food Program (CN Block), and related child nutrition initiatives. The sub-award activity has accelerated sharply: one award in 2022, four in 2023, sixteen in 2024, eleven in 2025, and twenty-three in 2026 (as of mid-July), signaling sustained or growing nutrition program operations within Circle Of Nations' service area. Combined obligated dollars across all seventy-six awards total $9.6 million, reflecting the formula-grant and nutrition-reimbursement structure of the underlying federal programs. Only one award faces completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating stable renewal cycles characteristic of federal nutrition and Indian education formula programs. The National Endowment for the Arts appears once in the portfolio, and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs once, but the overwhelming activity weight rests on USDA Food and Nutrition Service pass-through awards to tribal schools and child-nutrition operations.
