Funding
Federal funds represented approximately 60% of all resources available for senior programming. State and local contributions compromise the balance of the expenditure, representing 37% and 3% respectively. Nearly all Area Agencies on Aging (11 of 13) in Iowa are private, non-profit organizations.
The Area Agency's collaboration with local human service networks leads to greater efficiency in the use of these tax dollars. Administrative costs of most Area Agencies on Aging is under 10% of their total budget, making them one of the most effectively managed human service delivery systems in the nation. Area Agencies on Aging have become brokers of community-based services to the older adult community through the effective and efficient distribution of federal, state, and local funding.
