About Area Agency on Aging for Lincolnland
Area Agency on Aging for Lincolnland Inc channels most of its recent grantmaking through pass-through awards to local service providers that support older adults, caregivers, and people with disabilities across central Illinois. The largest recent grant listed is $2,254,175 to Senior Citizens of Central IL in Springfield, followed by $1,890,422 in 2024 and $1,543,851 in 2023 to the same organization, showing a multi-year funding relationship. Other large awards go to Illinois Valley Economic Development Corp, C.E.F.S. Economic Opportunity Corp, and Prairie Council on Aging, all of which appear repeatedly in the recent grants list. Its stated service profile centers on income-based services, information, referrals, and support aimed at dignity, health, and independent living for seniors and caregivers. The funding profile also shows program-specific direct support, including small assistance grants for vision, dental, and hearing costs in Sangamon County and solicitations tied to Adult Protective Services in select counties. Grant activity is entirely within Illinois, and the organization’s recent history suggests a network-based model that relies on local partners rather than individual direct aid.
