Federal Grant Award Summary

The Administration on Aging (AoA) awarded Osage Nation Si-Si A-Pe-Txa a Formula Grant of $157,530.00 under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title VI, Part A, Grants to Indian Tribes (CFDA 93.047) for the performance period of April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2029. This three-year award supports the delivery of supportive services and nutrition services to American Indian elders aged 60 and older within the Osage Nation community in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Under this grant, Osage Nation Si-Si A-Pe-Txa will provide services comparable to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act, consistent with the program's mandate to ensure culturally appropriate and accessible services for Native American populations. The organization's existing service infrastructure, which emphasizes trauma-informed and culturally aligned programming across mental health, substance abuse prevention, and public health domains, positions it to deliver comprehensive supportive and nutrition services to eligible tribal elders. Award funds will support the organization's capacity to maintain these critical services throughout the three-year grant period, with continuation contingent upon satisfactory performance and fund availability as outlined in program regulations.
