Platinum sponsors recognize the importance of subsidizing the most critical needs of older adults. Their generous contributions ensure the utmost safety and independence of older adults in our eight-county service area (Boone, Dallas, Jasper, Madison, Marion, Polk, Story and Warren). In fact, platinum sponsors may choose the county they would like their significant contribution funds to remain.

Gold sponsors seek to provide reassurance for clients who require one-time assistance with expenses of goods or services that will enable them to stay in their homes, such as major home repair, medical supplies, mobility devices, or supplemental nutritional needs that are not covered by any other form of payment in order to remain in their respective community.
Gold sponsor donations are a minimum of $2,500 annually or a one-time donation of $5,000.
Silver Sponsors:
Silver sponsors recognize the need for continued educational opportunities for aging services staff to enhance their state-of-the-art knowledge in service provision and best practices.
