Inter-Tribal Council Of Nevada

Inter-Tribal Council Of Nevada, doing business as ITCN, is a Native American-owned, minority-owned nonprofit organization based in Reno, Nevada, that operates as a prime recipient of federal grants focused on aging services, nutrition programs, workforce development, and victim services for American Indian and Alaska Native populations across Nevada's 28 tribal nations. ITCN does not hold federal contracts; its federal footprint consists entirely of grant awards (98% prime recipient, 2% sub-recipient).

ITCN's grant portfolio concentrates heavily on health, human services, and social support programs. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living (ACL) and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service dominate the award count, representing approximately 75% of recent grants. Within ACL, ITCN receives recurring formula grants under the Older Americans Act Title VI programs—specifically grants for Native Americans (CFDA 93.044), nutrition services incentive programs (CFDA 93.053), and Native American caregiver support (CFDA 93.047)—with multiple tribal cohorts receiving separate awards under each program. Representative recent work includes $109,120 in FY2026 formula grants under OAA Title VI Part A awarded April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2029, to deliver nutrition and supportive services to Native American elders aged 60 and older, and recurring nutrition services incentive programs (CFDA 93.053) providing meals and meal support to eligible tribal elders. ITCN also holds concurrent WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, CFDA 10.557) awards from USDA's Food and Nutrition Service, including a $581,536 administrative expenses grant and food expense funding effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, supporting WIC service delivery to pregnant, breastfeeding, postpartum women, infants, and children under five across tribal service areas. The $753,193 WIC Modernization formula grant (May 23, 2023, through September 30, 2027) supports program modernization and nutrition education.

Beyond aging and nutrition, ITCN receives workforce development grants from the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration under the Native American Employment and Training program (CFDA 17.265), including a $829,294 project grant effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028, delivering career services, occupational training, and follow-up employment support to unemployed and underemployed American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian adults. ITCN also holds victim services and family violence prevention funding: a $396,816 project grant from the Department of Justice Office for Victims of Crime under the VOCA Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside Program (CFDA 16.841, effective January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2027) for victim advocacy, counseling, and legal assistance; and a $6 million block grant under the Family Violence Prevention and Services program (CFDA 93.671, October 2021 through September 2025) for domestic violence shelter and supportive services. Additional work includes a $565,385 cooperative agreement with EPA Region 9 under the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants program (CFDA 66.046, June 15, 2023, through May 31, 2027) to develop climate action plans for Nevada tribes, and child care development funding from the Office of Child Care, including child care block grants and construction grants supporting tribal child care infrastructure.

Activity shows volatility: 36 awards in 2023, 29 in 2022, declining to 17 in 2024 and 10 in 2025, then recovering to 26 in 2026. Fourteen grants reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. ITCN's sub-recipient footprint is minimal; recent sub-awards include a Johns Hopkins University pass-through (April 30, 2025) for WIC enrollment technical assistance and multiple Department of Agriculture Nevada sub-awards for Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) reimbursements. Customer concentration is pronounced: ACL and USDA Food and Nutrition Service account for the majority of award volume, with smaller engagements across HHS Office of Head Start, Department of Justice, EPA, and the Department of Labor. The source reports combined potential value of $195 thousand across all 437 awards but obligated dollars of $309.3 million, indicating that dollar ceilings on these formula grants significantly understate actual draw and that the funding stream is performance-based and recurring rather than time-limited.
