Federal Grant Award Summary

The Quapaw Nation received a $157,530 Formula Grant from the Administration on Aging under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title VI, Part A, Grants to Indian Tribes program (CFDA 93.047), effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2029. This three-year award supports the delivery of nutrition services, supportive services, and caregiver support programs for American Indian elders aged 60 and older within the Quapaw Nation's service area in northeastern Oklahoma. The funding enables the tribal government to provide aging services comparable to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act, addressing critical community needs for this vulnerable population.

As a federally recognized tribal organization eligible under Section 4 of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, the Quapaw Nation demonstrates the capacity and experience necessary to administer federal aging programs for its members. The award represents one of 82 formula grants distributed nationally through this program on April 1, 2026, reflecting the Administration on Aging's continued commitment to ensuring that Native American elders receive culturally appropriate and comprehensive support services in their communities.
