Federal Grant Award Summary

The Administration on Children, Youth and Families awarded Citizen Potawatomi Nation $116,407 under the Stephanie Tubbs Jones Child Welfare Services Program (CFDA 93.645) on October 1, 2025, with performance through September 30, 2027. This formula grant supports the Nation's development and delivery of coordinated child and family services through community-based agencies serving tribal members in central Oklahoma. The funding enables the Nation to implement child welfare social services aligned with a federally approved five-year agency plan jointly developed with the Department of Health and Human Services and developed in consultation with public and nonprofit private agencies and community-based organizations.

As a formula grant recipient, Citizen Potawatomi Nation must maintain compliance with 45 CFR Part 75 and applicable ACF regulations, and will draw down funds from an established account following plan approval. The two-year award period is consistent with the program's standard performance cycle for tribal and state child welfare service recipients nationwide, which collectively received over $7.4 billion in federal obligated funds since 2000.
