The Council on Aging is supported from many sources. The most important support is at the local level. Approximately 80% to 90% of our budget comes from a local senior service levy passed by the voters of Putnam County. State and Federal funds make up approximately 2% to 3% of the budget. We are also a partner agency with the United Way of Putnam County. Donations are received from individuals, businesses and other community organizations.
