Funders' Efforts Improve Life for Seniors
For the elderly, living alone can be isolating and dangerous. But thanks to local funders, hundreds of Baltimore area elderly residents are getting free and low cost transportation, health education and screening, social services, and social, cultural, and recreational activities in the comfort of their own homes and neighborhoods. The program, Senior Friendly Neighborhoods, serves some 900 seniors per month, many of whom are low-income.
Snapshots of Philanthropy offer a glimpse into the many ways funders are making a difference in our community. These snapshots are a series of 25 profiles created to celebrate the work of local grantmakers in recognition of the 25th anniversary of the Association of Baltimore Area Grantmakers (ABAG) and they are representative of the many ways that funders have had an impact in the community the last 25 years.
