Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The Absentee Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma received a $157,530 formula grant award from the Administration on Aging (also known as the Administration for Community Living) under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title VI, Part A, Grants to Indian Tribes program (CFDA 93.047). The award, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2029, 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 in central Oklahoma.

Under this three-year grant, the Absentee Shawnee Tribe will provide comparable services to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act, serving enrolled tribal members and the broader American Indian population across its five-county region. The formula grant mechanism ensures sustained, predictable funding for established aging services programs, with renewals contingent upon satisfactory performance and continued fund availability. Program administration must comply with federal audit requirements and record-retention provisions, with all financial and program records maintained for three years following submission of final expenditure reports.
