Federal Grant Award Summary

The Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation 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 (CFDA 93.047), effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2029. This three-year award supports the delivery of supportive services, nutrition services, and caregiver services to American Indian elders aged 60 and older within the Yakama Nation's jurisdiction, with services designed to be comparable to those provided under Title III of the Older Americans Act.

As a formula grant recipient, the Yakama Nation is responsible for maintaining comprehensive records and financial documentation for three years following submission of final expenditure reports, and will be subject to federal audit requirements should annual federal expenditures exceed $750,000. Grant renewals are contingent upon satisfactory performance during the prior year and the availability of federal funds. The award reflects the tribe's demonstrated capacity to serve a population of at least 50 eligible American Indian elders and deliver culturally appropriate aging services across its 1.4 million-acre reservation in south-central Washington.
