Iliamna Village Council

Iliamna Village Council, a federally recognized Alaska Native tribal government based in Iliamna, Alaska (population approximately 110), operates as a grant recipient delivering tribal transportation, public safety, environmental protection, library services, and infrastructure development to its village and surrounding region. The Council receives federal grant funding directly as the recipient organization; it is not a federal contractor and holds no federal contract prime awards or seats on government-wide contract vehicles.

Iliamna Village Council's federal portfolio centers on formula grants and project grants under tribal set-asides and dedicated tribal programs. The Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration dominates the award count with 17 grants under the Tribal Transportation Program (CFDA 20.205 and 20.289), totaling sustained annual funding for road construction, maintenance, and local transportation infrastructure. Recent highway grants include $409,362.14 for FY 2025 tribal transportation funding (April 2025), $243,793.74 and $106,394.03 for FY 2026 village transportation programming (November 2025), and $445,280 for construction of a 40-by-60-foot transit facility with three garage bays to house and protect the tribe's transit vehicle fleet from subarctic weather (August 2026, completing February 2027). The Council also received $4.38 million and $206,105.20 in earlier formula grants for tribal transportation planning and construction (March 2023).
