About Central Arkansas Area Agency on Aging
Central Arkansas Area Agency on Aging Inc channels large, contract-based grants to a network of Arkansas aging-service providers. In the latest grants, Faulkner County Council on Aging received $846,324 in 2025, while Central Ar Development Council received $795,966 that same year, showing a funding model built around partner-managed service delivery rather than small discretionary awards. The agency’s giving supports older adults and their families through aging services, homebound senior support, nutrition and Meals on Wheels, home care, caregiver support, senior wellness and fitness, Medicare counseling, legal referrals and advocacy, ombudsman services, and transportation. The pattern is consistent across multiple years and across local service organizations in Conway, Benton, Lonoke, Jacksonville, Little Rock, and Helena. Several recipients appear repeatedly, including Lonoke County Council on Aging, Jacksonville Senior Center Inc, and Alzheimer’s Ar Programs and Service. Grants are structured as subrecipient contracts, indicating restricted funding tied to service delivery. With annual grants of $9,083,844 and total assets of $16,709,906, the organization operates at a scale that supports a broad aging-services system across central Arkansas.
