Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The Fort Peck Assiniboine & Sioux Tribes received a $157,530 formula grant award from the Administration on Aging (AOA) under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title VI, Part A, Grants to Indian Tribes program (CFDA 93.047). The award, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2029, supports the delivery of nutrition services, supportive services, and caregiver services to tribal members aged 60 and older. These services are designed to be comparable to those provided under Title III of the Older Americans Act and address critical community needs for elder support within the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in northeastern Montana.

As a federally recognized tribal organization meeting the program's eligibility requirements, Fort Peck Assiniboine & Sioux Tribes will utilize the formula grant funding to enhance service capacity for an elder population representing at least 50 Native Americans aged 60 or older. The three-year performance period aligns with the standard CFDA 93.047 funding cycle, which distributes resources across multiple tribal jurisdictions to ensure comprehensive elder care services that respect cultural context and community-specific needs.
