Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration on Aging awarded the Oneida Indian Nation a formula grant of $109,120 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 supportive services, nutrition services, and caregiver support services to American Indian elders aged 60 and older within the Oneida Nation's service area in central New York.

The funding enables the Oneida Indian Nation to provide services comparable to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act, addressing the comprehensive needs of Native American seniors through culturally appropriate programming. As a federally recognized tribal organization eligible under Section 4 of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act and serving a population exceeding 50 eligible tribal members aged 60 or older, the Oneida Indian Nation receives this formula allocation as part of a broader annual distribution supporting elder services across multiple tribal jurisdictions nationwide.
