Native Village Of Minto

Native Village of Minto, a federally recognized Indian tribe headquartered in Minto, Alaska, operates as a tribal government and recipient of federal grants supporting community development, transportation infrastructure, environmental management, and family violence prevention across Alaska Native communities. The tribe has no federal contract prime or subcontract footprint; all forty recent awards in the source are federal grants with Native Village of Minto as the direct prime recipient, with no sub-recipients engaged across the portfolio.

The tribe's grant recipients over the past several years span the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (14 awards), the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (13 awards combined across two agency lines), the Environmental Protection Agency (4 awards), and the Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Program (2 awards). These five customer agencies account for 83% of awards. Recent representative awards include a $1 million project grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Indian Community Development Block Grant Program (CFDA 14.862) awarded July 27, 2026, supporting development of decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities for Minto residents through September 30, 2028. The tribe received repeated annual allocations from the Federal Highway Administration for tribal transportation program funding under the Tribal Transportation Program and Highway Planning and Construction (CFDA 20.205) program—including a $127,349 award in June 2024 for transportation infrastructure initiatives. An October 2024 project grant from EPA Region 10 (ultimate completion September 30, 2026) funds administrative grants management, air quality program development, waste management planning and implementation, and emergency response program development, with deliverables including assessments, plans, data reports, and community outreach materials. The tribe also received a May 2023 formula grant from the Department of the Treasury's Departmental Offices under the Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund (CFDA 21.019) for broadband infrastructure and capital projects enabling remote work and education through December 31, 2026, and an October 2022 formula grant from the Administration for Children, Youth, and Families for family violence prevention and services (ultimate completion September 30, 2024).

Activity has been modest and stable—three awards in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026—with combined dollars obligated at approximately $4.9 million across forty awards spanning from 1991 to July 2026. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The tribe operates awarded projects without sub-recipients, retaining all programmatic and administrative work in-house across transportation, environmental stewardship, emergency preparedness, housing development, and victim services sectors.
