Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The Seneca Cayuga Tribe of Oklahoma received a formula grant award of $206,840 from the Administration on Aging (AOA) 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 services to American Indian elders aged 60 and older within the tribe's service area, with programs designed to be comparable to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act.

As a federally recognized tribal organization meeting the program's eligibility requirements of representing at least 50 Native Americans aged 60 and older, the Seneca Cayuga Tribe will utilize the funding to enhance community-based support infrastructure for elder populations. The award reflects the AOA's commitment to ensuring culturally appropriate aging services across tribal jurisdictions and represents one of 82 formula grants distributed in the fiscal year 2026 funding cycle to eligible Indian tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations nationwide.
