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 acts as a prime recipient of federal grants across health, education, social services, and infrastructure programs serving tribal members and communities. The tribe operates entirely as a grant recipient — 100% of its 382 awards in the source data are prime grants with no contract prime or subcontractor footprint, making it a sovereign tribal entity receiving direct federal funding rather than competing for federal contracts.

The tribe's grant portfolio spans a broad mandate covering child care and early childhood development, nutrition and food assistance, aging services, behavioral health, victim services, employment and training, water and environmental infrastructure, historic preservation, and language revitalization. Representative recent work includes a $2.946 million five-year Head Start and Early Head Start grant from the Office of Head Start (CFDA 93.600) awarded September 1, 2025, supporting comprehensive early childhood education and family support services; a $2.893 million Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) discretionary award from the Office of Child Care (CFDA 93.575) for child care subsidies and quality improvements through September 30, 2028; and a $1.948 million water infrastructure grant from the Rural Utilities Service (CFDA 10.770) for water and waste disposal system development awarded June 30, 2025. The tribe also holds recurring formula grants under the Older Americans Act Title VI programs (supportive services, nutrition, and caregiver support for elders), the WIC program (supplemental nutrition for pregnant women, infants, and children), TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families), and employment and training services under WIOA (CFDA 17.265).

Federal customer concentration centers on the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families, which accounts for a combined 87 awards across child welfare, family violence prevention, child care development, and promoting safe and stable families programs. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service follows with 75 awards, predominantly WIC-related grants spanning food expense, administrative costs, and breastfeeding peer counselor programs. The Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Service, the Administration on Aging, and SAMHSA together account for another significant tranche of awards in aging services, chronic disease prevention, substance abuse treatment, and mental health crisis response. These five agency clusters cover approximately 48% of the tribe's award count, with the remaining portfolio distributed across 47 other federal agencies including the Bureau of Reclamation, EPA, Department of Justice, Department of Labor, DOD, and the National Park Service.

Activity has grown from 19 awards in 2022 to a peak of 24 in 2024, with 20 awards in 2025 and 3 newly obligated awards visible as of April 1, 2026. Within the next twenty-four months, 31 awards reach ultimate completion and face recompete. The tribe's capability portfolio reflects its role as a tribal government delivering social services, public health, and community development programs directly to enrolled members and eligible community residents within its New Mexico jurisdiction. Recent project-grant work includes a $410 thousand WaterSMART planning grant from the Bureau of Reclamation (CFDA 15.507) for strategic water management planning to improve irrigation infrastructure and watershed health; a $2 million cooperative agreement from the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (CFDA 93.714) for culturally informed chronic disease prevention and management; a $136 thousand Safe Streets and Roads for All transportation safety planning grant from the Federal Highway Administration (CFDA 20.939); and a $664 thousand Violence Against Women discretionary grant from the Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women (CFDA 16.587) for victim advocacy and shelter services. The tribe also holds cooperative agreements for environmental capacity building with EPA Region 6 and participates in federal programs addressing opioid use disorder treatment, dementia care, family violence prevention, sex offender registration, and tribal historic preservation office operations under the National Historic Preservation Act.
