Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma received a $122,960 formula grant award dated April 1, 2026, under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title VI, Part A, Grants to Indian Tribes program (CFDA 93.047), administered by the Department of Health and Human Services Administration on Aging. The three-year award, with completion scheduled for March 31, 2029, funds the delivery of supportive services and nutrition services to American Indian elders aged 60 and older within the tribe's service area in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. These services are designed to be comparable to those provided under Title III of the Older Americans Act and address critical needs for elder nutrition, health support, and community-based services for qualified tribal members.

As a formula grant recipient, the Kiowa Tribe must maintain the capacity to deliver culturally responsive supportive and nutrition services to at least 50 tribal members aged 60 or older. The award represents part of the Administration on Aging's broader effort to provide consistent funding across tribal jurisdictions with significant Native American populations. The tribe is required to maintain all program and financial records for three years after submission of final expenditure reports and is subject to audit requirements if total federal expenditures exceed $750,000 annually across all awards.
