Formula Grant 2604WAOATA

The Makah Indian Tribe of the Makah Indian Reservation received a Formula Grant award of $109,120.00 from the Administration on Aging (AOA) under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title VI, Part A, Grants to Indian Tribes (CFDA 93.047). The award, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2029, supports the delivery of nutrition services, supportive services, and caregiver support programs for enrolled tribal members aged 60 and older. These services are designed to be comparable to those provided under Title III of the Older Americans Act and serve approximately 3,319 enrolled members of the tribe.

The three-year funding cycle enables the Makah Tribe to sustain and expand elder services that address the unique needs of the Native American population in Neah Bay, Washington. As a federally recognized tribe with demonstrated capacity to deliver supportive and nutrition services, the Makah Tribe maintains compliance with program requirements, including financial record retention for three years following submission of final expenditure reports. The award represents part of the AOA's broader commitment to delivering culturally appropriate aging services to tribal communities across the United States.
