We connect older adults, caregivers, and individuals with disabilities to services, resources, and support that make independent living possible.
A defining feature of Southwestern Ct Agency on Aging Inc. is its use of Title III and related public funding to keep older adults connected to meals, home care, transportation, and other supports that make independent living possible in southwestern Connecticut. The grant list shows a consistent network of service providers rather than isolated project awards: Cw Resources Inc. received $1,891,535 in 2024, and Catholic Charities received $1,548,331 in 2024 for elderly nutrition and home care services. Those larger awards sit alongside many smaller community-based grants to senior centers, nonprofit service agencies, and local partners in Bridgeport, Stamford, Norwalk, Greenwich, and Fairfield. The foundation also funds work tied to caregiver support, legal services, mental health supports, and Medicare and Medicaid navigation through its competitive requests for proposals. Recent awards include support for AAA projects for the elderly, Alzheimer’s and dementia-related aide services, and nutrition programs for older adults and homebound people. The pattern suggests a grantmaker focused on direct service delivery and aging-network coordination across a defined local service area.
Elderly nutrition and home care are central to the foundation’s funding. In 2025, it gave $1,442,374 to Rw Solutions Inc for elderly nutrition and home care services, and it also supported Monitor My Health in Bridgeport with $65,003 for the same general service area. Senior centers are another recurring emphasis: Stamford Senior Center Inc received $78,384 in 2023 and $67,972 in 2024, while Norwalk Senior Center Inc received $75,000 in 2024. The funder also supports AAA projects for the elderly, with grants to Person to Person in Darien for $170,000 and Operation Hope in Fairfield for $154,000 in 2025. Alzheimer’s and dementia-related aide services appear as a distinct funding line through a state Alzheimer’s aide grant opportunity.
Typical awards cluster around mid-sized service grants, with a p25 of $28,308, a median of $49,448, and a p75 of $73,764. The recent list shows repeat recipients across years, including Cw Resources Inc, Catholic Charities, Hall Neighborhood House, Silversource, and Stamford Senior Center Inc, indicating ongoing support rather than one-off awards. The foundation operates through competitive RFPs and grant portals, and the program descriptions specify unsolicited applications are accepted. It appears to fund organizations rather than individuals, and the grant program language points to program-restricted support for aging services and related public-funding allocations.

Grantmaking is entirely in Connecticut, with 100% of grants going to recipients in the state. Bridgeport appears frequently among recipients, alongside Stamford, Norwalk, Greenwich, Fairfield, Darien, and New Britain. The pattern reflects a southwestern Connecticut service footprint rather than statewide or national funding. Recent awards also include organizations in multiple local municipalities, such as City of Bridgeport, Family Centers in Greenwich, and Wheel It Forward in Stamford.
Its programs support older adults, caregivers, and people with disabilities through home-delivered and community meals, senior centers, transportation, caregiver support, nutrition services, legal services, mental health supports, and Medicare and Medicaid navigation. Recent grants also include AAA projects for the elderly and Alzheimer’s-related aide services.
The recent grant list shows recurring support to the same organizations across multiple years. Cw Resources Inc, Catholic Charities, Hall Neighborhood House, Silversource, and Stamford Senior Center Inc all appear more than once, which points to ongoing service funding rather than isolated awards.
The foundation uses competitive Requests for Proposals and a Grantee Gateway portal. Its active programs describe annual RFPs, application materials, and grant writing resources, and the program pages indicate that unsolicited applications are accepted.
The grant-size distribution centers on mid-sized awards: p25 is $28,308, the median is $49,448, and p75 is $73,764. Recent grants include both larger service contracts and smaller community awards within that overall range.
All recent grants in the data go to recipients in Connecticut, and the top giving state is CT. Recipient cities include Bridgeport, Stamford, Norwalk, Greenwich, Fairfield, Darien, and New Britain, showing a local southwestern Connecticut focus.
