Formula Grant 2618OKOATA

The Ottawa Indian Tribe of Oklahoma received a $157,530 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). This award supports the delivery of nutrition services, supportive services, and caregiver services to American Indian elders aged 60 and older within the tribe's service area. The funding enables the tribe to provide services comparable to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act, addressing critical needs for elder nutrition and support within the tribal community.

As a federally recognized tribe with demonstrated capacity to serve its elder population, the Ottawa Tribe will utilize the grant to enhance its existing elder care infrastructure and service delivery. The three-year funding period allows for sustained programming that supports the tribe's commitment to community services and elder welfare. Award funds will be subject to standard federal compliance requirements, including maintenance of all program and financial records for three years following final expenditure report submission, and potential single audit requirements if total federal expenditures exceed $750,000.
