Federal Grant Award Summary

The Sitka Tribe of Alaska received a $122,960 formula grant award effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2029, under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title VI, Part A, Grants to Indian Tribes program (CFDA 93.047), administered by the Department of Health and Human Services Administration on Aging. This award funds the delivery of supportive services, nutrition services, and caregiver services to American Indian and Alaskan Native populations aged 60 and older in the Sitka, Alaska area. The grant supports services comparable to those provided under Title III of the Older Americans Act, ensuring eligible tribal elders receive critical assistance to maintain health, independence, and quality of life.

The three-year funding cycle enables the Sitka Tribe to sustain ongoing elder support programming tailored to the cultural and demographic needs of its tribal population of over 4,400 citizens. As a federally recognized tribal government with demonstrated capacity in administering federal grant programs across multiple sectors, the tribe is well-positioned to effectively manage this formula allocation and maintain compliance with program requirements, including financial reporting obligations and three-year record retention standards.
