Federal Grant Award Summary

The Delaware Tribe of Indians received a $206,840 formula grant 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). Awarded on April 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2029, this three-year grant supports the delivery of supportive services and nutrition services to American Indian elders aged 60 and older within the tribe's service area. The funding enables the tribe to provide services comparable to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act, including nutrition programming and supportive services tailored to meet the needs of Native American seniors.

As a federally recognized tribal organization, the Delaware Tribe of Indians meets the program's eligibility requirements and demonstrates established capacity to administer comprehensive elder services. The grant represents part of the Administration on Aging's broader commitment to supporting tribal communities in delivering culturally appropriate aging services. The tribe is responsible for maintaining all program records and financial reports for three years after submission of final expenditure reports in accordance with program requirements, and the award may be renewed in subsequent years based on satisfactory performance and fund availability.
