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.
BUILDING FOR TODAY, GROWING FOR TOMORROW
We’re excited to share plans for our upcoming building project—designed to help us continue serving older adults today and into the future.
