Serving older adults across Region 9 with compassion and dignity
AAA9 FOUNDATION
Created in 2020 to assist older adults and adults with disabilities who fall through the cracks of
traditional programs – so they can stay independent and safe at home.
PURPOSE
The Area Agency on Aging, Region 9 (AAA9) Foundation assists older adults and disabled adults who fall through the “cracks” of traditional assistance programs, are victims of elder abuse or exploitation, of a natural disaster, or need other help to maintain their independence.
Because the Foundation depends on donations and has limited funds, we strive to be the payor of last resort, when practical and possible. Assistance is only available when funding is available.
OUR FOUNDATION MISSION
“To promote, encourage, and raise funds in support of programs and services designed to help all older adults continue to live independently and safely at home; and in support of the Area Agency on Aging Region 9, Inc.”
FUNDING PRIORITIES
The Foundation focuses donations where they close the biggest gaps for older adults in our region.
Meet the basic needs of consumers who have exhausted all other avenues or fall through the "cracks" and are not eligible for government programs.
Ensure older adults have the nutrition and resources to stay healthy and independent in their homes.
Provide assistance for issues gripping older adults today, such as telephone scams, fraud, and the opioid crisis.
ELIGIBILITY
Please consider the AAA9 Foundation when you give – your gift enables us to assist others in need. Assistance depends on available funding.
Must live in the AAA9 region (Belmont, Carroll, Coshocton, Guernsey, Harrison, Holmes, Jefferson, Muskingum, or Tuscarawas County) and be age 60 or over, or at least 18 with a documented physical disability.
Not based on financial eligibility - but candidates must have no other means of addressing their needs. Assistance depends on available funding.
Health and safety, independent living, food and/or shelter, natural disaster recovery, or exploitation / elder abuse. Other requests may be considered case by case.
