Village Of Sleetmute

Village of Sleetmute, doing business as Sleetmute Traditional Council, is a federally recognized tribal government based in Sleetmute, Alaska that receives federal infrastructure grants for water, waste disposal, sewage treatment, and broadband deployment in its rural Alaskan community. The organization operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient (100% of recent awards); it does not hold federal prime contracts or subcontracts.

Sleetmute Traditional Council's grant portfolio centers on rural utility and infrastructure development. The Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office has provided six awards for tribal housing and infrastructure programs. The Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service has funded five awards, including a $1.4 million Project Grant awarded June 25, 2026, under the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA 10.760) for waste disposal and sewage treatment infrastructure, with completion targeted for June 25, 2028, and a prior Rural Utilities Service grant from January 31, 2025, for waste-only projects (CFDA completion date January 31, 2027). The Environmental Protection Agency has provided three awards. The Treasury Department's Departmental Offices funded a Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund (CCPF) Formula Grant awarded May 30, 2023, with ultimate completion December 31, 2026, supporting broadband infrastructure designed to deliver symmetrical speeds of 100 megabits per second to enable work, education, and health monitoring in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Across seventeen awards obligating $4.7 million combined, Sleetmute Traditional Council has worked with six distinct federal agencies. Four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The organization's award history spans intermittent activity over nearly two decades, with concentrated clustering around tribal infrastructure and rural utility programs, reflecting the grant-dependent funding model characteristic of federally recognized tribal governments.
