Federal Grant Award Summary

Acoma Business Enterprises, a tribally owned organization, received a $136,000 formula grant award effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2029, 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 supports the delivery of nutrition services, supportive services, and caregiver services to American Indian elders aged 60 and older in New Mexico. These services include congregate and home-delivered meals, health promotion, community education, caregiver support resources, and transportation assistance designed to promote independence and reduce disease and disability among the aging Native American population.

The award continues Acoma's longstanding partnership with the federal aging network, building on over 15 years of experience delivering Older Americans Act services to isolated indigenous elders across the state. The formula grant funding enables Acoma to maintain critical supportive infrastructure and tribal coordination efforts that enhance access to comparable services for Native American seniors, consistent with the program's objective to provide aging services equivalent to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act.
