Five Sandoval Indian Pueblos Inc.

Five Sandoval Indian Pueblos Inc. (FSIP) is a tribal government and non-profit organization based in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, representing a consortium of five federally recognized pueblos: Zia, Jemez, Cochiti, Santa Ana, and Sandia. As one of the oldest Native American non-profit organizations in New Mexico, FSIP serves as the primary resource for comprehensive health, social, and economic services to tribal communities and surrounding areas in Sandoval County where populations are small and access to care is limited. Through federal grant awards, FSIP provides a diverse array of services including early childhood education and family support, nutrition assistance, employment and workforce training, substance abuse prevention and treatment, mental health services, and opioid response initiatives, all delivered in a culturally responsive manner that respects tribal sovereignty and traditional healing practices.

FSIP's federal grant portfolio demonstrates substantial programming across multiple service areas supported by various federal agencies. The organization operates an AIAN Head Start program funded by the Department of Health and Human Services, providing comprehensive early childhood education and family services with a $1,029,653 award through December 2030. In nutrition services, FSIP administers multiple programs including the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) modernization initiative ($750,760), Commodity Assistance Program (CAP) food and administrative expenses, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR). Employment and training services are funded through the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration under the Native American Employment and Training program (CFDA 17.265), with multiple project grants totaling approximately $825,000 that support career counseling, occupational skills training, and entrepreneurial development for American Indian and Alaska Native individuals across multiple performance periods. FSIP also operates several behavioral health and substance abuse initiatives funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), including a Tribal Opioid Response project emphasizing prevention, treatment, and recovery with integrated traditional healing practices; a comprehensive youth suicide, substance use, and trauma prevention program; and programs addressing domestic and sexual violence prevention. The organization delivers these services through direct provision with minimal subrecipient involvement, maintaining tribal control and cultural appropriateness throughout all programming.
