Federal Grant Award Summary

The Cheyenne Arapaho Tribe received a $157,530 Formula Grant 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 nutrition services, supportive services, and caregiver support to American Indian elders aged 60 and older within the Tribe's service area spanning nine to eleven counties across western Oklahoma. The Tribe, representing approximately 13,000 to 14,000 enrolled members, demonstrates substantial federal grant management capacity and meets all program eligibility requirements, including the ability to serve the required minimum population of at least 50 Indians aged 60 or older.

Under this three-year award, the Cheyenne Arapaho Tribe will provide services comparable to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act, specifically targeting nutrition programming, supportive services for daily living, and caregiver assistance. The award aligns with the federal program's objective to ensure Native American and Alaskan Native elder populations receive comprehensive community-based services that promote independence, dignity, and quality of life. The Tribe is required to maintain all program records and financial reports for three years following submission of final expenditure reports in compliance with Administration on Aging audit and reporting requirements.
