Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The Metlakatla Indian Community received a $136,000 formula grant awarded April 1, 2026, by 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, with a completion date of March 31, 2029, supports the delivery of nutrition services, supportive services, and caregiver services to American Indian and Alaskan Native populations aged 60 and older within the community. As a federally recognized tribal government serving approximately 1,400 tribal members on the Annette Islands Reserve in southeast Alaska, Metlakatla Indian Community will utilize these funds to provide services comparable to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act.

This formula grant aligns with the program's mandate to ensure eligible tribal organizations can deliver comprehensive supportive and nutrition services to elder populations. The three-year performance period reflects the standard funding structure for Title VI grants, with the awardee required to maintain all program and financial records for three years following submission of final expenditure reports in accordance with federal audit and compliance requirements.
