Formula Grant 2602MNOATA

The Fond du Lac Reservation received a $157,530 formula grant award dated April 1, 2026, under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title VI, Part A, Grants to Indian Tribes program (CFDA 93.047), administered by the Administration on Aging. This three-year award, with completion scheduled for March 31, 2029, supports the delivery of nutrition services, supportive services, and caregiver services to American Indian elders aged 60 and older within the reservation community. The funding enables the tribe to provide services comparable to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act, addressing critical needs for elder care and nutrition in the northeastern Minnesota service area.

As a federally recognized tribal organization serving approximately 4,000 band members, the Fond du Lac Reservation demonstrates the organizational capacity required under the program to manage and deliver these essential aging services. The formula grant allocation reflects the tribe's eligible population of Native Americans aged 60 and older and supports the tribe's broader commitment to comprehensive community development and social services. Award recipients under this program are required to maintain all program and financial records for three years following submission of final expenditure reports and must demonstrate satisfactory performance for any grant renewals contingent upon fund availability.
