Summary of Federal Grant Award

The Native Village of Barrow Inupiat Traditional Government received a formula grant award of $157,530 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 nutrition services, supportive services, and caregiver support services to American Indian and Alaskan Native populations aged 60 and older in the North Slope region of Alaska. These services are designed to be comparable to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act and address the specific needs of the Inupiat community.

As a federally recognized tribal government entity representing over 50 elders aged 60 and older, the Native Village of Barrow leverages this three-year funding to administer essential elder care programming that promotes health, independence, and quality of life for senior members of the community. The organization demonstrates established capacity to deliver supportive and nutrition services through its existing portfolio of federal grant awards and documented experience managing complex federal programs across multiple service domains.
