Under this formula grant, the Idaho Commission On Aging distributes funding to four Area Agencies on Aging and related local service providers as sub-recipients: Eastern Idaho Community Action Partnership, Inc. (serving nine counties in eastern Idaho), North Idaho College (serving northern regions), Area 3 Senior Services Agency (serving southwestern areas), and College of Southern Idaho (serving central regions).

The Older Americans Act Title III, Part C nutrition services program provides grants to states and territories to support nutritious meals, nutrition education, and related services that maintain health, independence, and quality of life for older adults. Awards flow through a mandatory statutory formula; state plans are submitted for two- to four-year periods with annual revisions as needed. The Idaho Commission On Aging, designated as the state's Agency on Aging, holds the federal prime relationship and administers the cascading intrastate funding structure to local implementing partners for direct service delivery to vulnerable elderly populations across the state.
