Native Village Of Mary's Igloo is a federally recognized tribal government located in Teller, Alaska, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since 2008. As a tribal government, the organization focuses on community development, infrastructure improvement, and supporting the economic and social well-being of its tribal members. The entity is primarily engaged in receiving federal grants that address critical community needs, with a specific emphasis on rural Alaskan indigenous community development, housing, infrastructure, and environmental sustainability.

Through its federal grant awards, Native Village Of Mary's Igloo has consistently secured project grants from multiple federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, the Denali Commission, the EPA Region 10, and the Departmental Offices. The grants have supported a wide range of initiatives, such as the Indian Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG) program, which funds affordable housing construction and rehabilitation, infrastructure improvements, and economic development programs. Additionally, the tribe has received grants for environmental capacity building, including solid waste management, water quality monitoring, traditional ecological knowledge preservation, and community clean-up efforts. The Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund grant enabled the tribe to invest in critical capital projects that support remote work, education, and health monitoring in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Most recently, a $1,472,000 HUD grant and a $500,000 Denali Commission grant will fund community center development, infrastructure improvements, and initiatives to create economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income tribal members.
