Klawock Cooperative Association

Klawock Cooperative Association, doing business as Klawock I R A, is a federally recognized Alaska Native tribal government headquartered in Klawock, Alaska, that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient to support transportation infrastructure, elder and nutrition services, environmental protection, and broadband deployment. The organization operates exclusively as a grant recipient with no federal contracts or subcontract work in its current portfolio. Klawock Cooperative serves as tribal government under the Indian Tribe classification and receives funding under programs reserved for federally recognized tribes and Alaska Native communities.

The organization's federal funding footprint is dominated by tribal transportation grants from the Federal Highway Administration under the Tribal Transportation Program (CFDA 20.205) and Highway Planning and Construction (CFDA 20.205). Since 2022, Klawock Cooperative has received 18 FHWA awards, including recent project grants of $289,971.14 (July 2026, FY 2026 transportation funding through the OTT Program), $929,957.09 (July 2026, infrastructure and road access), $1,586,544 (June 2025, FY 2025 infrastructure development), and $1,130,665.27 (April 2025, FY 2025 transportation initiatives). Earlier awards included $1,096,750.99 (February 2022) and $1,241,555.82 combined across February 2022 formula grants under the same program. Performance occurs in Alaska and serves the Klawock Alaska Native Village community, with ultimate completion dates typically September 30 of each fiscal year or extended through multi-year periods. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living (now Administration on Aging) funds elder and nutrition services under Older Americans Act Title VI, Part A (CFDA 60.998, grants for Native Americans), Title VI, Part C (caregiver support), and the OAA Nutrition Services Incentive Program (CFDA 93.053). Awards in these programs run from April 2023 through March 2026 and April 2026 through March 2029, with ultimate completion dates extending through 2029. Klawock Cooperative also received a $913,157.41 formula grant from FHWA (July 2023) and tribal transportation block grants in 2022. The Environmental Protection Agency Region 10 awarded a $1 million-plus environmental project grant (October 2023 through September 2027) supporting the Indian General Assistance Program, tribal water quality monitoring, watershed cleanup, and harmful algal bloom baseline assessment. The Department of the Treasury awarded a Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund formula grant (May 2023 through December 2026) supporting broadband infrastructure and capital projects. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office funded an Indian Community Development Block Grant (March 2022 through December 2023).

Activity has been relatively flat — five awards in 2022, six in 2023, three in 2024, three in 2025, and five in 2026. Only two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months. Customer concentration by award count spans fifteen distinct agencies, but the top four (FHWA with 18 awards, ACL/Administration on Aging with 31 combined awards, EPA with 6 awards, and HUD with 4 awards) account for 80% of recent awards. The organization has no federal prime contracts, no vehicle seats, and no subcontracting relationships in its portfolio.
