Village Of Bill Moore's Slough

Village Of Bill Moore's Slough, doing business as Native Village, is a federally recognized Alaska Native tribal government located in Kotlik, Alaska, that receives federal grant funding for community development, environmental management, library services, and disaster relief as a prime grant recipient. The entity holds no federal contracts and does not sit on contract vehicles; its entire federal footprint consists of grant work as a direct recipient and sub-recipient under tribal set-aside programs.

The vendor's recent grant portfolio centers on four federal grantor agencies and spans infrastructure, environmental capacity building, cultural services, and victim support. The Institute of Museum and Library Services has awarded two consecutive annual project grants (August 2025 and August 2026, each running one year) supporting native library services basics, library material acquisition, community programming, and staff training within the village. The Environmental Protection Agency Region 10 issued a project grant (October 2024 through September 2026) for environmental capacity building, technical training, solid waste management, and community climate engagement; the vendor acts as prime recipient with no sub-awards on that grant. The Department of Justice's Office for Victims of Crime awarded a $219,402 project grant (January 2025 through December 2026) under the VOCA Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside Program (CFDA 16.841) to fund victim services aligned with tribal values. The Department of Energy issued a conditional formula grant (January 2025 through December 2029) under Inflation Reduction Act Section 50122 for home electrification and appliance rebates (HEAR) implementation in partnership with tribal partners; award conditions require future modification before funds are fully released.

The vendor also acts as a sub-recipient on disaster relief and appropriations grants. Sub-awards include emergency aid distribution for typhoon Murbok damage (February 2026), FY24 aid to tribal government (May 2024), and Coronavirus pandemic relief under CARES and ARPA provisions (January 2022) as a sub-recipient to the Association of Village Council Presidents. Total federal dollars obligated across all sixteen awards (twelve prime, four sub) stands at $3.1 million over fifteen years of award activity. Two awards reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and face recompete or renewal. Award volume has remained modest and episodic — two awards in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2024, three in 2025, and two in 2026 — reflecting the seasonal and project-specific nature of tribal government grant cycles rather than sustained contract work.
