A public, non-profit Area Agency on Aging serving the needs and concerns of seniors and people with disabilities across an eleven-county area in central Montana to help them maintain health and independence in their homes and communities.
Area II Agency on Aging centers its grantmaking on older adults and people with disabilities across an eleven-county area in central Montana, using operating support and service contracts to keep local senior services in place. The largest recent award in the file is $845,315 to Adult Resource Alliance in Billings for services for senior citizens, followed by repeated large grants to other county and community providers. That pattern shows a funder that does not rely on one-off awards; instead, it supports a network of local organizations that deliver meals, transportation, homemaker help, personal care, and respite services. The agency’s recent grants also include substantial support for Fergus County Council on Aging in Lewistown and Big Sky Senior Services in Billings, along with county councils, senior centers, and elderly programs in places such as Hardin, Roundup, Big Timber, Harlowton, Joliet, and Lame Deer. Because Area II Agency on Aging administers programs directly as well as contracts with service providers, its grantmaking reads more like an administrative funding system for aging services than a conventional discretionary foundation portfolio.
Aging services are the clearest thread in Area II Agency on Aging’s portfolio. In 2025, it gave $291,128 to Fergus County Council on Aging in Lewistown, and in 2024 it provided $260,103 to the same organization for services for senior citizens. Similar support went to Big Horn County Council on Aging in Hardin, with awards of $134,747 in 2025 and $101,868 in 2024. The agency also funds senior-center infrastructure and community-based service delivery. Hospitality House in Big Timber received $83,877 in 2025, after $64,102 in 2024 and $70,222 in 2023. Wheatland County Senior Citizens in Harlowton received $81,972 in 2024 and $72,434 in 2025. Support extends to Native elder-serving organizations as well. Northern Cheyenne Elderly Program in Lame Deer received $84,555 in 2024 and $62,473 in 2025, reflecting a continuing emphasis on locally rooted senior support.
Area II Agency on Aging’s typical grants cluster in the mid-five-figure range, with a p25 of $26,907, a median of $35,155, and a p75 of $74,062. The recent grants list shows repeated awards to the same organizations across multiple years, which points to ongoing operating or service support rather than isolated project grants. That pattern is also reinforced by the agency’s active grant programs, which include senior center contracts and service-provider contracts that provide operating funding. It also administers the Commodity Supplemental Food Program in its service area, and its mini-grant program for rural communities is available through the Governor’s Advisory Council. The available data does not show an open unsolicited-application pathway for the main service-provider contracts.
