The Area Agency is the area wide entry point to the Aging Network and is a designated Aging and Disability Resource Center. We ensure coordinated, accessible services for older persons, and persons with disabilities to live independent, meaningful and dignified lives. We offer support to family caregivers locally and long distance.
Midland Area Agency on Aging uses funding to keep older adults and people with disabilities connected to services that support independent living, caregiver help, nutrition, and dementia-friendly community initiatives. Its active funding notices are built around service delivery, with public opportunities for provider organizations in the agency’s Area 9 service area and in counties such as Clay, Effingham, and Fayette. The recent-grants record shows a steady flow of large operating awards to local service providers rather than individual households, matching its role as an area-wide entry point to the Aging Network and a designated Aging and Disability Resource Center. The largest recent awards go to Cefs Economic Opportunity Corp in Effingham and BCMW Community Services in Centralia for senior programs, alongside recurring support for Comprehensive Connections in Mount Vernon. Those awards point to a provider-based model that relies on community organizations to deliver meals, caregiver support, transportation, information and assistance, and in-home support services. The foundation’s stated purpose centers on coordinated, accessible services for older persons, persons with disabilities, and family caregivers.
Older adult services are the core of the foundation’s work. It gave $809,508 in 2025 to Cefs Economic Opportunity Corp in Effingham for senior programs, and the same category also appears in awards to BCMW Community Services in Centralia and Comprehensive Connections in Mount Vernon. Nutrition is another recurring priority. Midland Area Agency on Aging administers funding opportunities for nutrition and Meals on Wheels services, and it supported Heartland Human Services in Effingham with $264,544 in 2025 for senior programs that fit that service mix. Caregiver support and information services are also built into its funding notices. The agency’s public opportunities explicitly name caregiver support, information and assistance, and ADRC services, while recent grants to Effingham County Community on Aging in Effingham show continued backing for local senior-program delivery.
Typical awards are mid- to large-sized: the 25th percentile is $70,728, the median is $94,501, and the 75th percentile is $449,521. The recent record also shows repeat support across 2023, 2024, and 2025 for several providers, including Cefs Economic Opportunity Corp, BCMW Community Services, Comprehensive Connections, and Heartland Human Services. That pattern suggests ongoing operating and program support rather than one-off project grants. Midland Area Agency on Aging’s active funding opportunities are public notices that accept unsolicited applications from provider organizations serving its Area 9 counties.
