New Koliganek Village Council

New Koliganek Village Council, a federally recognized Indian tribe and tribal government based in Koliganek, Alaska, receives federal grants as a prime recipient to deliver community and environmental services within its jurisdiction, with no federal contract prime or subcontract presence in the source data. The council is structured as a tribal entity and FFRDC; its federal activity centers on formula grants and project grants administered by domestic agencies serving Native American communities and rural jurisdictions.

The council's grant portfolio spans environmental stewardship, library services, crime victim support, and broadband infrastructure. From the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the council holds three Native American Library Services Basics grants awarded in August 2024, August 2025, and August 2026—the most recent award (August 1, 2026, completing July 31, 2027) funds library materials acquisition, community programming, and staff training to preserve tribal knowledge and improve archival services for tribal members. From the Environmental Protection Agency Region 10, the council received a project grant (January 1, 2024, completing December 31, 2026) to build environmental program capacity, establish baseline water-quality monitoring, and implement waste-management and recycling operations benefiting the village. From the Department of Energy, an Inflation Reduction Act Section 50122 formula grant (January 1, 2025, completing December 31, 2029) funds home electrification and appliance rebate (HEAR) implementation. The Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime awarded a Tribal Victims Services Set-Aside formula grant (January 1, 2025, completing December 31, 2026) to deliver crime victim services aligned with tribal values. The Treasury Department provided a Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund formula grant (May 4, 2023, completing December 31, 2026) for broadband infrastructure and capital assets enabling remote work, education, and health monitoring in underserved rural areas.

The council's customer base is dispersed across eight agencies. EPA Region 10 and the EPA broadly account for six of thirteen prime grants; IMLS holds three; and the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Energy each hold one or more. Awards totaled $4.3 million obligated across all sources. Recent activity shows growth—one award in 2023, two in 2024, five in 2025, and one in 2026. Four grants reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. In its minimal subgrant role, the council received environmental justice funding as a subawardee under Philanthropy Northwest (July 24, 2025) and health-system support as a subawardee under Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (May 21, 2025). The council does not pursue federal contracts or appear on contract vehicles; its federal footprint is grant-recipient only.
