Grant Award Summary

The Wyandotte Nation received a $157,530 formula grant award, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2029, from the Administration on Aging (part of the Department of Health and Human Services) 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 support services to American Indian and Alaska Native populations aged 60 and older within the Wyandotte Nation's service area in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

The grant funds the provision of services comparable to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act, ensuring that tribal elders receive essential support aligned with federal nutrition and aging services standards. As a federally recognized tribal government, the Wyandotte Nation demonstrated capacity to deliver these supportive and nutrition services to its eligible population of at least 50 members aged 60 or older. The three-year award represents the Administration on Aging's commitment to supporting tribal self-determination in elder services and reflects the formula grant distribution methodology used to allocate resources across multiple tribal jurisdictions serving Native American elder populations nationwide.
