Yukon Flats School District

Yukon Flats School District, a U.S. government entity and Alaska Native-serving school district headquartered in Fort Yukon, Alaska, operates as a federal grant recipient providing K-12 educational services funded primarily through formula and project grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) and the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS).

The district operates as a prime recipient on direct federal education grants and as a sub-recipient on pass-through awards routed through the State of Alaska's Education & Early Development Department and the Alaska Department of Military and Veteran's Affairs. Prime awards account for 45% of recent grants (60 awards), while sub-recipient awards comprise 55% (74 awards). The district qualifies for Impact Aid funding under Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041) because at least three percent of its total average daily attendance consists of eligible federally connected children living on federal property, including Indian lands, or children with parents working on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. The district uses Impact Aid proceeds to support comprehensive K-12 services including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration for its predominantly Alaskan Native community.

Customer concentration sits almost exclusively with federal education and nutrition programs. The top five agencies by award count account for 97% of recent awards, led by the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (69 awards), the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service (54 awards), the Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (4 awards), the Federal Emergency Management Agency Region 10 (2 awards, $17 thousand combined potential value), and the Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service (1 award). The two rankings align closely—OESE and FNS dominate both volume and value.

Representative prime grant work includes a $2.058 million Impact Aid Program project grant (CFDA 84.041, Section 7003) awarded October 1, 2025, running through September 30, 2031; recurring Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs (CFDA not specified) awarded July 1 annually; and a Rural Education Achievement Program (REAP) award under Special Qualified Agencies (SQAS) designation. Sub-recipient awards flow predominantly through Alaska's Education & Early Development Department and cover National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Title I Basic Grants to LEAs, Special Education Title VI grants, Title IV Student Support and Academic Enrichment grants, Title II Improving Teacher Quality State Grants, 21st Century Community Learning Center Grants, and American Rescue Plan education and learning-loss funds. Recent sub-recipient awards include monthly or quarterly allocations for school nutrition programs, Title I school improvement grants, and special education funding. The district also received a $34,129.50 disaster relief sub-award from the Alaska Department of Military and Veteran's Affairs for equipment damage (November 26, 2025).

Activity has grown substantially in recent years, from five awards in 2022 to thirty-three in 2024, with seventeen awards in 2026 year-to-date. Only one award reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete pressure in the immediate term. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $60.8 million against $17 thousand in combined potential value, a reflection of the district's receipt of actual appropriated education and nutrition funding rather than capped contract vehicles. The district holds no contract awards, GWACs, or multiple-award IDIQs; its federal footprint consists entirely of formula grants, project grants, and sub-awards passed through state agencies.
