Formula Grant 2619AKOATA

The Administration on Aging awarded a $157,530 Formula Grant to Maniilaq Association effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2029, under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title VI, Part A, Grants to Indian Tribes (CFDA 93.047). This grant supports the delivery of nutrition services, supportive services, and caregiver services to American Indian and Alaskan Native populations aged 60 and older in the Northwest Arctic region of Alaska. Maniilaq Association, a nonprofit Alaskan Native Corporation headquartered in Kotzebue, will leverage this funding to provide services comparable to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act to eligible tribal members across the 12 communities it serves.

The award reflects the program's commitment to ensuring culturally appropriate elder support services in remote Alaska Native communities. As a critical healthcare and social service provider with demonstrated capacity to serve American Indian and Alaskan Native populations, Maniilaq Association will maintain required program records and financial reports for three years following the submission of final expenditure reports, in compliance with Administration on Aging regulations. The three-year performance period positions the organization to sustain and expand elder-focused programming within the region.
