Shingle Springs Rancheria

Shingle Springs Rancheria, doing business as Shingle Springs Band Of Miwok Indians, is a federally recognized Indian tribe headquartered in Placerville, California, that operates as the recipient of federal grants across health, social services, environmental, cultural preservation, and infrastructure programs. The tribe does not hold federal contracts; all 113 awards in the source are grants or cooperative agreements where the tribe acts as prime recipient. The tribe is tribally owned and meets the ownership criteria for federal set-asides reserved for Indian tribes and tribal governments.

Shingle Springs Rancheria's grant portfolio spans five federal agencies and reflects the tribe's work delivering services to tribal members and surrounding El Dorado County communities. The Department of Health and Human Services is the largest grantor, with 31 awards across the Administration for Children and Families (11 awards for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families block grants and formula grants) and the SAMHSA Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (2 awards for tribal opioid response programming through the Shingle Springs Health and Wellness Center). The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 10 awards, primarily Commodity Supplemental Food Program administration grants and Local Food Purchase Assistance cooperative agreements supporting the tribe's Harvest-to-Table project, which partners with the Food Bank of El Dorado County to distribute locally grown produce to vulnerable individuals. The Department of the Interior National Park Service issued 10 awards, dominated by Historic Preservation Fund formula grants to the tribe's Tribal Historic Preservation Office and Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act consultation grants supporting repatriation work with UC Berkeley, UC Davis, and California State University collections. The Environmental Protection Agency issued 8 awards, including a $653,120 Solid Waste Infrastructure for Recycling cooperative agreement (May 1, 2024 to April 30, 2027) to establish a recycling center on the reservation with equipment purchases and a Recycling Coordinator position, and formula grants for water quality monitoring, nonpoint source pollution best management practices, and composting program development. The Institute of Museum and Library Services awarded 4 Native American Library Services project grants supporting library materials, software subscriptions, archival services, and professional development travel for library staff.

Activity has declined from 11 awards in 2022 to 1 award in 2026 (recorded August 1, 2026), reflecting the timing of award cycle clustering in federal grant programming rather than a loss of funding streams. The source reports 113 total awards with combined dollars obligated of $158.4 million against a reported combined potential value of $10 thousand; this discrepancy indicates the potential-value field is not populated accurately for grant awards in this data source, and the obligated-dollars figure ($158.4 million) is the decision-relevant metric for scope. Two awards are scheduled to complete in the next twenty-four months and will face recompete cycles. The tribe receives recurring formula-grant funding under TANF (annual block grants from HHS Administration for Children and Families, most recently $12.470488 million for October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, requiring tribal plan renewal every three years), Commodity Supplemental Food Program administration, Historic Preservation Fund grants, and EPA environmental program grants, and project-based competitive funding for specialized initiatives such as opioid response, broadband deployment, and cultural repatriation work. The broadband footprint includes a $12 thousand National Telecommunications and Information Administration project grant (January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2028) to prepay broadband services for tribal household connections, provide end-user devices, and upgrade tribal staff technology. The tribe operates the Peacekeeping alternative dispute resolution program within its tribal court under a $900 thousand Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance grant (October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2027) and implements violence-prevention programming under an Office on Violence Against Women grant addressing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, sex trafficking, and stalking (October 1, 2022 to December 31, 2026).
