Federal Grant Award Summary

The Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe received a Formula Grant award of $157,530 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, dated April 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2029, supports the delivery of nutrition services, supportive services, and caregiver services to American Indian elders aged 60 and older within the tribe's jurisdiction in South Dakota.

Under this three-year grant period, the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe will provide services comparable to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act, with a focus on meeting the unique needs of approximately 16,000 enrolled tribal members across Dewey and Ziebach Counties. As a federally recognized tribal organization with demonstrated capacity in social services delivery, the tribe will leverage this funding to support elder populations through comprehensive nutrition and supportive service programming consistent with the program's mandate to promote culturally appropriate services for Native American elder communities.
