Alliance for Children and Families Awards $75,000 in Grants to Member Agencies to Support Aging Services

From Ascribe Newsfeed:

The Alliance for Children and Families, a national membership association of nonprofit human service providers, has awarded a total of $75,000 in grants to 25 nonprofit member organizations interested in furthering their capacity to address aging issues.

Each of the 25 agencies received a $3,000 mini-grant after going through a national, competitive process.

The mini-grants are a component of the Alliance's New Age of Aging project, a five-year initiative designed to help prepare human service organizations throughout North America to best provide services for older adults as the vast baby boom generation ages.

Each of the 25 organizations is receiving a mini-grant because it demonstrated interest in aging issues and a desire to gain competency in the field and/or advance current aging services.

"We are pleased to be able to support these organizations as they look forward to and plan for how they will serve an aging population," says Peter Goldberg, president and CEO of the Alliance.

"Through this program, we can help ensure that the human services community is preparing to serve the increasing proportion of older adults.

Our initial goal was to award 20 mini-grants during this cycle; however, because of the thoughtful, innovative, and dynamic ideas proposed, we stretched our funds to award grants to 25 agencies.
