About Area Agency on Aging Region One
Area Agency on Aging Region One Inc channels large public-service contracts into aging support across Maricopa County, with the biggest recent award going to the City of Phoenix for home delivered meals at $4,725,425 in 2023. The pattern is service delivery rather than one-time philanthropy: the foundation repeatedly funds meal programs, home care, case management, adult day care, and caregiver supports through provider agreements tied to its Request for Provider Proposals process. Phoenix is a recurring delivery point, but the work reaches a wider network of local nonprofits and care providers serving older adults, caregivers, and underserved populations. Recent grants show a mix of public agencies and nonprofit operators carrying out core aging services. Fsl Programs received $3,999,785 in 2023 and $2,500,194 in 2024 for various services, while Attentive Home Health received $2,576,962 in 2024 and $1,904,758 in 2023 for home care. Other large awards went to Maricopa County Human Services Department for case management and to Aster Aging Inc for a broader bundle of services. The foundation’s stated aim is to partner with the community to enrich the quality of life for older adults, caregivers, and underserved populations.
