The New Mexico Office of Broadband Access and Expansion (OBAE) has awarded grants of $100,000 each to the Pueblo of Pojoaque and Kit Carson Electric Cooperative, Inc. The two organizations were each awarded the maximum grant of $100,000 through the Grant Writing, Engineering and Planning Program (GWEP). The Pueblo of Pojoaque will use the funding to launch an initiative to strengthen connectivity, "ensure accurate broadband service representation" and prepare for future infrastructure investment.

The Hoopa Valley Tribe relies on funds from the USDA's Local Food Purchase Assistance program to provide fresh produce for elders and support local farmers.
