Federal Grant Award Summary

The Blackfeet Tribe of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation received a Formula Grant award of $206,840.00 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 supportive services and nutrition services to American Indian elders aged 60 and older within the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in Montana. The funding enables the Tribe to provide services comparable to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act, serving approximately 17,000 enrolled tribal members across the 1.5-million-acre reservation.

Under this three-year performance period, the Blackfeet Tribe will deliver culturally appropriate nutrition programming, supportive services for aging adults, and caregiver support services tailored to the needs of the Blackfeet Nation's senior population. As a federally recognized tribal government with demonstrated capacity to administer complex federal programs, the Tribe maintains the administrative infrastructure necessary to manage grant compliance, financial reporting, and program evaluation requirements. The award is contingent upon satisfactory performance and continued fund availability, with all program and financial records to be maintained for three years following final expenditure report submission.
