Ramah Navajo Chapter

Ramah Navajo Chapter, operating through its Trust Service Division and Office of Grants & Contracts, is a federally recognized Indian tribe based in New Mexico that serves as a parent entity receiving federal grant funding to support critical community development and public safety initiatives. As a tribal government entity registered with SAM.gov since 2007, the Chapter leverages federal resources to enhance infrastructure, connectivity, and quality of life for its tribal members across multiple sectors including transportation and law enforcement.

The Ramah Navajo Chapter has demonstrated consistent federal grant funding activity across two primary focus areas: transportation infrastructure development and community policing. On the transportation side, the Chapter has been a regular recipient of Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) funding, receiving multiple project grants under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) in fiscal years 2024 and 2025, with awards totaling at least $408,464.83 and $2,582,283.42 respectively, as well as the Tribal Transportation Program (CFDA 20.289) with a $130,445.73 award in FY 2026. These transportation grants support road and bridge construction, rehabilitation, replacement, transportation planning, and safety improvements within the Ramah Navajo community. Additionally, the Chapter received FHWA funding under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Program in March 2024 to develop the Ramah Navajo Chapter Vision Zero Safety Action Plan, demonstrating a commitment to reducing traffic-related fatalities and injuries. Beyond transportation, the Chapter received a $404,208 grant from the Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Program (CFDA 16.710) in October 2021, which supports the Ramah Navajo Police Department's community policing initiatives in Pinehill and Mountain View, New Mexico through September 2026. The grants enable the Chapter to implement organizational transformation, problem-solving techniques, and collaborative partnerships to address public safety issues. All identified awards represent direct prime funding to the Chapter with no subcontractor relationships documented, indicating the Chapter's direct implementation capacity across these federal programs.
