Grant Awards Reception and Workshop

Each year Thanks Mom & Dad Fund awards grants to organizations serving older adults. These grants fill growing gaps in services for seniors. However, funding is not the only way Thanks Mom & Dad Fund works to strengthen the aging network. Along with the Grant Award Reception all grantees and potential grantees are invited to attend a skill building workshop. In the past these workshops have included grant writing, reporting and outcome measurement, and other workshops to help build the capacity of staff working to serve older adults.
