Federal Grant Award Summary

The Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California received a formula grant award of $157,530 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), effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2029. This three-year award supports the delivery of nutrition services, supportive services, and caregiver services specifically designed for American Indian elders aged 60 and older within the tribe's service area in Nevada.

Under this award, the Washoe Tribe, operating through its Washoe Development Group division, will provide culturally appropriate aging services comparable to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act. The funding enables the tribe to sustain critical programs that enhance the health, independence, and quality of life of its aging population while respecting tribal cultural values and traditions. As a federally recognized tribal organization with demonstrated capacity to deliver these services, the Washoe Tribe is well-positioned to effectively deploy these resources to meet the nutritional and supportive service needs of its elder community members across Nevada and California.
