Federal Grant Award Summary

The Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin received a $157,530 formula grant award effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2029, from the Administration on Aging under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title VI, Part A, Grants to Indian Tribes program (CFDA 93.047). This award supports the delivery of nutrition services, supportive services, and caregiver services to American Indian elders aged 60 and older within the tribal jurisdiction. The formula grant represents a three-year performance period consistent with the program's standard funding cycle for tribal organizations serving Native American populations.

As a federally recognized tribal government with approximately 8,214 enrolled members, the Lac Courte Oreilles Tribal Government will utilize these funds to provide culturally appropriate elder support services comparable to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act. The funding aligns with the tribe's demonstrated commitment to comprehensive community wellness and reflects its ongoing participation in federal grant programs that address critical social service needs within its 15-square-mile reservation and surrounding service areas.
