Federal Grant Award Summary

The Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head Aquinnah received a $109,120 Formula Grant award from the Administration on Aging (also known as the Administration for Community Living) under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title VI, Part A, Grants to Indian Tribes program (CFDA 93.047). The award was obligated on April 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2029, representing a three-year performance period. This funding supports the delivery of supportive services, nutrition services, and caregiver services specifically designed for American Indian elders aged 60 and older within the tribe's jurisdiction in Massachusetts.

Under this formula grant, the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head Aquinnah is expected to provide services comparable to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act. These services are tailored to the cultural and geographic context of the federally recognized tribe and designed to enhance the quality of life for Native American seniors in the Aquinnah community. The tribe must maintain all program records and financial reports for three years following submission of final expenditure reports, and award renewals are contingent upon satisfactory performance and fund availability.
