Shinnecock Indian Nation Fund Inc.

Shinnecock Indian Nation Fund Inc., a federally recognized Native American tribe-owned not-for-profit organization headquartered in Southampton, New York, operates as a federal grant recipient delivering child care and development services, aging-services programs, and community resilience initiatives to the Shinnecock Indian Nation and surrounding communities. The organization is structured as a tribally owned entity and competes predominantly under federal formula and block grant vehicles reserved for Native American organizations and tribal lead agencies, with 92% of recent awards held as prime recipient status across the Department of Health and Human Services, the Administration on Aging, and related federal programs.

Shinnecock Indian Nation Fund Inc.'s grant portfolio centers on child care services and older-adult support. The organization holds active formula and block grants from the HHS Office of Child Care under the Child Care and Development Fund (CFDA 93.596) and the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CFDA 93.575), with awards effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028 — a $228,121 formula grant and a $2.13 million discretionary block grant anchoring the current period. Additional current and recent recipients include formula grants from the Administration on Aging under the Older Americans Act Title VI, Part A (for Native Americans), Title VI Part C (Native American Caregivers Support), and the Nutrition Services Incentive Program for Native Americans, all carrying September 2025 through March 2029 performance windows. The organization also holds grants from the HHS Administration for Children and Families for child welfare social services (CWSS) and related programming. Supplemental funding includes an American Relief Act 2025 block grant under the Child Care and Development Block Grant program (awarded December 21, 2024) and prior-year awards now completing, including a tribal climate resilience and ocean and coastal management planning grant from the Department of Commerce (awarded August 16, 2021, completing January 31, 2025) and an Indian Housing Block Grant from HUD (awarded August 2, 2021, completing September 30, 2026).

Customer concentration reflects the organization's tribal-services mission. The HHS Administration for Community Living (which includes the Administration on Aging) and the HHS Administration for Children and Families account for the majority of awards, with the Administration for Community Living representing 22 awards and Administration for Children and Families representing 19 awards — together covering 81% of the active award count. Activity shows a recent decline: six awards in 2022, eight in 2023, seven in 2024, and three awards each in 2025 and 2026 year-to-date. Five awards are scheduled to reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete opportunities. In its sub-recipient role, Shinnecock Indian Nation Fund Inc. has engaged with the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services on COVID-19 sheltering, testing, security, and management-cost sub-grants (five awards between August 2022 and May 2025). The organization's total obligated funding across all federal awards sits at $47.9 million across 93 awards tracked since 2006, with twelve distinct customer agencies in the current portfolio.
