HOW IS THE COUNCIL ON AGING FUNDED?
The Council on Aging is supported from many sources. The most important support is at the local level. We receive funds from a levy passed by the voters of Putnam County. Donations are received from area churches, individuals, businesses, civic groups, and organizations. The Putnam County Council on Aging is also a United Way partner agency. State and Federal funds cover approximately 2% to 3% of the overall budget.
