The board will set priorities for Core Agency Funding in the first quarter of 2013.


     
  2.  OLDER ADULT PROGRAM GRANTS

    Grants are offered to assist General Community nonprofit organizations that support promising programs and innovative approaches to the challenges facing adults aged 60 and over.
