Federal Grant Award Summary

The Administration on Aging (AoA) awarded Knik Tribe $206,840 through a Formula Grant under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title VI, Part A, Grants to Indian Tribes program (CFDA 93.047) effective April 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2029. This three-year award supports the delivery of supportive services, nutrition services, and caregiver services to American Indian and Alaskan Native populations aged 60 and older within Knik Tribe's service area in Alaska. As a federally recognized tribal organization serving over 10,000 Alaska Native and Indian people across a 25,000 square mile service area, Knik Tribe is eligible under Section 4 of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act and demonstrates the capacity to deliver the required supportive and nutrition services to its senior population.

The grant funding enables Knik Tribe to provide elder services comparable to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act, with programs designed to serve tribal members aged 60 and older. The award represents part of the Administration on Aging's broader initiative to support tribal organizations in delivering culturally appropriate and comprehensive senior services. Award recipients are required to maintain all program and financial records for three years following submission of final expenditure reports and must demonstrate satisfactory performance for any renewal consideration within the grant period.
