Yavapai Prescott Indian Tribe

The Yavapai Prescott Indian Tribe, operating through its Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe Division in Prescott, Arizona, is a federally recognized tribal government that receives federal grants as a prime recipient across health, community safety, environmental stewardship, economic development, and library services — not a federal contractor. The tribe has received 127 federal grants since 1990, with $20.2 million in obligated dollars across a combined potential value of $3.2 million, reflecting a portfolio composed almost entirely of smaller, recurring federal assistance awards rather than competitive procurements.

The tribe's federal grant footprint is concentrated in health and social services. The Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Service has awarded 19 grants, while the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families has awarded 25 grants combined across its named sub-offices; the Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs and Indian Education has funded 10 awards; and the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science has awarded 10 grants. The portfolio spans medical assistance (20 awards under Medical-Other PSC codes), direct aid to tribal governments under Public Law 93-638 (9 awards), and lodging or hotel-motel related services (7 awards). The top five customer agencies by award count account for 50% of all awards.

Recent capability work illustrates the tribe's internal service delivery and capacity-building focus. A $523,717 Violence Against Women Discretionary Grant from the Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women (CFDA 16.587), awarded October 1, 2025, runs through September 30, 2028 and funds emergency shelter, supportive services, outreach, and counseling for victims of domestic and dating violence, with the Southwest Indigenous Women's Coalition as a planning partner. A $675,136 Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing grant from the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (CFDA 16.710), awarded October 1, 2024, provides equipment, technology, and training to enhance community policing capacity through September 30, 2027. Multiple Native American Library Services Basics grants from the Institute of Museum and Library Services fund library materials, programming, staff training, and digital services including computer workstations and Wi-Fi expansion. A $3.93 million Economic Adjustment Assistance grant (CFDA 11.307) from the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration, awarded September 2, 2022, funds a 0.5-mile two-lane road on the reservation to provide access to developable land and support job creation through May 31, 2027. A long-running Special Diabetes Program for Indians cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, active since 1997 and renewed through December 31, 2027, supports diabetes prevention and education through a wellness center gym, nutrition education, physical activities, and health supplies. The tribe also received Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund support for broadband infrastructure investments to enable remote work, education, and health monitoring.

Activity in the recent five-year window shows a declining trajectory: four awards in 2022, three in 2023, four in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026. Four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The tribe does not operate as a federal contractor or subcontractor; all 127 awards are direct federal grants to the tribal government as prime recipient, with no sub-recipient or pass-through structure noted in the source.
