Federal Grant Award Summary

The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe received a Formula Grant award of $157,530 from the Administration on Aging (also known as the Administration for Community Living) 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 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 reflect the federal government's commitment to ensuring equitable access to aging services for American Indian and Alaskan Native populations.

As a federally recognized tribal organization meeting the eligibility requirements under Section 4 of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe will utilize the three-year funding allocation to enhance the breadth and quality of elder services delivered to its community. The formula grant mechanism ensures consistent, predictable funding to support the tribe's ongoing operations in this critical service area, contingent upon satisfactory performance and continued fund availability through the performance period.
