About Metropolitan Area Agency on Aging
Metropolitan Area Agency on Aging Inc. centers its grantmaking on services that help older adults age well and strengthen community capacity to care for an aging population. Its largest recent awards go to nutrition providers: Open Arms of Minnesota received $3,149,923 in 2023 and $2,876,000 in 2025 for Nutrition Services, while Presbyterian Homes & Services received $2,626,004 in 2025 for the same broad purpose. Those grants sit alongside recurring support for meal delivery, supportive services, caregiver help, and health promotion across the Twin Cities metro. The foundation’s funding pattern shows a networked approach rather than one-off project bets. It repeatedly backs organizations that deliver day-to-day services for older adults, including home-delivered meals, congregate meals, transportation, homemaker support, legal assistance, and caregiver respite. Grants also reach agencies serving specific neighborhoods and population groups, such as Metro Meals on Wheels in Minneapolis, Senior Community Services in Minnetonka, Eastside Neighborhood Services in Minneapolis, and the Korean Service Center in Minneapolis. Across the portfolio, the focus stays on direct service delivery for older adults and family caregivers, with federal Older Americans Act dollars paired with state and NSIP sources in several awards.
