Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The Eastern Shoshone Tribe received a $122,960 Formula Grant from the Administration on Aging under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title VI, Part A, Grants to Indian Tribes (CFDA 93.047) effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2029. This award supports the delivery of nutrition services, supportive services, and caregiver services to American Indian elders aged 60 and older, with services designed to be comparable to those provided under Title III of the Older Americans Act. The funding enables the tribe to address critical community needs for its senior population residing on the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming.

Under this three-year performance period, the Eastern Shoshone Tribe will utilize the grant to sustain and expand elder services programming that aligns with federal requirements for tribal organizations serving at least 50 Native Americans aged 60 or older. The award reflects the Administration on Aging's commitment to supporting tribal governments in delivering culturally appropriate aging services and demonstrates the tribe's demonstrated capacity to administer federal funding for supportive and nutrition service delivery to its senior population.
