Federal Grant Award Summary

The Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians received a Formula Grant award of $122,960.00 from the Administration on Aging 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 supportive services, nutrition services, and caregiver services to American Indian elders aged 60 and older within the tribal community. These services are designed to be comparable to those provided under Title III of the Older Americans Act and address critical needs for older adults in the Lac du Flambeau service area in Wisconsin.

As a federally recognized tribal organization meeting the program's eligibility requirements of serving a population of at least 50 Indians aged 60 or older, the Lac du Flambeau Band demonstrates established capacity to deliver these essential elder services. The three-year funding period reflects the standard performance cycle for formula grants under this program, with the tribe expected to maintain comprehensive program records and financial reports for three years following final expenditure reporting in compliance with federal audit and recordkeeping requirements.
