About Areawide Council on Aging of Broward County
Areawide Council on Aging of Broward County Inc channels major grant dollars into elderly services across Broward County, with the largest recent awards going to Broward County Elderly & Veteran Services in Fort Lauderdale in 2023, 2024, and 2025. That repeated support points to a funder built around direct service for older adults rather than one-off project funding. Its stated work centers on helping older adults and caregivers maintain independence, health, and well-being, and the recent grants show that mission in practice through county service agencies, senior centers, home care providers, legal support, and neighborhood-based partners. The foundation’s giving also reaches organizations serving transportation, nutrition, home support, and other daily needs tied to aging in place. Recent awards include $2,957,344 to Human Services Network in Plantation and $2,933,980 to Direct Services in Miami, showing that the funder backs substantial operating-scale relationships with local providers. Across the recent grant list, the pattern is consistent: support for organizations that deliver services to seniors, frail or homebound older adults, and family caregivers in Broward County.
