Formula Grant 2601WIOATA

The Bad River Band of Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians received a formula grant award of $122,960.00 from the Administration on Aging under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title VI, Part A, Grants to Indian Tribes program (CFDA 93.047), effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2029. This three-year award supports the delivery of nutrition services, supportive services, and caregiver services to tribal members aged 60 and older, with service levels comparable to those provided under Title III of the Older Americans Act. The funding enables the tribe to enhance its elder care infrastructure and maintain culturally appropriate programming for seniors within the Bad River tribal community.

As a federally recognized tribal organization meeting the program's eligibility requirements, the Bad River Band demonstrates capacity to deliver both supportive and nutrition services to its eligible elder population. The award aligns with the tribe's broader mission of community development and member well-being, building upon its established track record of managing federal grants across health, social services, and community support domains. Grant recipients are required to maintain comprehensive program and financial records for three years following final expenditure report submission and are subject to audit requirements if annual federal expenditures exceed $750,000.
