Santo Domingo Pueblo

Santo Domingo Pueblo Tribal Programs Division, doing business as Santo Domingo Tribe, is a federally recognized American Indian tribe based in Kewa Pueblo, New Mexico, that operates as a federal grant recipient delivering social services, public health, infrastructure, and community development programs directly to tribal members and eligible residents across its New Mexico jurisdiction. The tribe acts exclusively as a prime recipient on all 385 federal awards in its portfolio; it holds no federal contracts or contract vehicles and maintains no sub-award activity.

Santo Domingo Pueblo's federal footprint is dominated by recurring formula and block grants from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Labor, with a secondary portfolio spanning environmental infrastructure, transportation safety, broadband deployment, and cultural preservation. The tribe serves as the lead agency for child care and development fund administration, manages WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) nutrition programs across multiple funding streams, administers Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and delivers aging services, family violence prevention, victim services, and behavioral health crisis response under its Kewa Family Wellness Center. Recent project grants include $882,593 from HHS Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) for 988 tribal crisis response and mobile crisis team expansion at the Kewa Family Wellness Center (September 2026, performance through 2029), $4.844 million from the Office of Child Care for child care development block grant discretionary funding (October 2025 through 2028), and $1.948 million from the Rural Utilities Service for water and waste facility infrastructure addressing tribal health risks (June 2025).

Customer concentration is steep across the top five federal agencies, which account for roughly 49 percent of all awards by count. HHS Administration for Children and Families dominates with 49 awards across TANF, child welfare social services, child care development, and family violence prevention programs. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service places 39 awards for WIC program operations spanning food expenses, administrative costs, and breastfeeding peer counselor programs. The HHS Public Health Service (including the Administration on Aging, SAMHSA, and the Indian Health Service) accounts for 23 awards covering aging services, behavioral health, chronic disease prevention, and dementia support. Funding spans domestic social services delivery, infrastructure modernization, and tribal government administration, with all work performed in New Mexico across Santo Domingo Pueblo's tribal lands and service area.

Activity has remained steady at 19 to 24 awards per year over the past five years (2022–2025), with 23 awards reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete or renewal in that window. The tribe's grant portfolio reflects its operational role as a tribal government providing direct federal services rather than as a federal contractor or vendor; its federal funding landscape is characterized by formula grants and block grants tied to Older Americans Act, WIC, TANF, and child care authorities, alongside project grants for infrastructure, behavioral health, historic preservation, employment and training, and emergency response. No federal contract vehicles, parent IDIQs, or GWACs appear in the source material.
