From Ascribe Newsfeed: The Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust has awarded grants that will move Maricopa County closer to creating a model for living the last third of life. Grants totaling $3.7 million will go to promote civic engagement among older adults, enhance resources for children, build important skills at local nonprofit organizations and support new construction, among other efforts. "The seeds planted in support of older adults at the very beginning of the Trust's competitive grantmaking in 2001 are bearing fruit," said Judy Jolley Mohraz, Ph.D., president and CEO of Piper Trust. The new $250,000 grant will help determine how to link together the work of now many Maricopa County agencies interested in engaging older adults in paid or volunteer service to the community. Community Services of Arizona, serving economically disadvantaged people in Chandler, Ariz., will use an $85,000 grant to implement a new way to serve meals to older adults at the Gilbert Community Center. City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department is completing the renovation of the 1922 Memorial Hall building at Steele Indian School Park. The ASU Center for Nonprofit Leadership and Management will select up to 10 local consultants to work individually with about 20 nonprofits in developing fundraising work plans.
