FY15 Senior Center General Purpose grant applicationI M1 s • 1 WX AM =190114M l FY 2014 -2015 APPLICATION PACKET CAPE FEAR AREA AGENCY ON AGING 1480 Harbour Drive Wilmington, NC 28401 NEW HANOVER SENIOR RESOURCE CENTER 2222 South College Road Wilmington, NC 28403 The Cape Fear Area Agency reserves the right to request additional information, references, to accept or reject any or all proposals to waive technicalities, to accept proposals in whole or in part, and to award a contract(s) which, in the opinion of the grantee, best serves the older adults. SENIOR CENTER GENERAL PURPOSE FUNDING Introduction and Instructions The Cape Fear Area Agency is pleased to announce the availability of funds for use by senior centers to support and develop programming and general operations or to construct, renovate, or maintain senior center facilities. $1,265,316 in general purpose funding was allocated for senior centers for the current fiscal year. This funding is allocated to the Area Agencies on Aging for distribution to the centers within the region which provide full time programs or will utilize the funding to develop full time programs. Across the state, 163 senior centers or developing senior centers will be funded. As you are aware, over the past several years, the Division of Aging and Adult Services has worked to develop a new statewide certification process for senior centers with standards that encourage centers across the state to strive for levels of `merit' or `excellence'. It is felt that all viable senior centers in the state could meet the newly developed standards in a reasonable amount of time. An intent of the certification process has been to increase base funding for those who have successfully completed the process. This ensures that funding is being well spent on readily identifiable programs and services and provides an incentive for centers that make investments to meet certification requirements. Therefore in order to provide an incentive to work toward certification, and to reward those who achieve it, the Division has altered its funding distribution method, with approval of the Legislature, to fund senior centers equally, based upon their certification status. Centers of Merit will receive two shares of the funding of non - certified centers and Centers of Excellence will receive three times the funding of non - certified centers. The objectives for this year are to: ➢ Allocate funding equally to every center, based upon certification status; ➢ Require documentation and accountability for the use of funding, and; Provide incentives for centers to improve themselves through certification. Again this year it has been decided to divide the annual appropriation into shares based on the total number of senior centers as determined by the Area Agencies on Aging plus extra shares for each senior center which meets certification status. Uncertified, identified centers will receive one share. For FY 2014 -2015, total funding available to the counties in Region O will amount to $73,970. Effective period: July 1, 2014 --June 30, 2015. Your center is eligible to receive: FY 14 -15 Senior Center General Purpose Funding $11,680 Local Match (25 %) $3,893 TOTAL $15,573 It is the responsibility of the applicant to certify the availability of the local match. The funds require a 25% local match. The funds must be spent first before reimbursed and before June 30, 2015. Therefore, projected June expenditures must be reported with May Services reported in June otherwise the unutilized portion of your allocation will revert to the state. Application submissions should include: (1) A completed description of proposed activities (add additional pages as needed). (2) Certification of the availability of local match. (3) A budget for senior center general purpose activities. 3 APPLICATION FOR SENIOR CENTER GENERAL PURPOSE FUNDING Applicant Information Date: Project Name: New Hanover Senior Resource Center Name of Project Director: All�i ,L 71JI/o —iL" Telephone Number: o'5 q _FAX: ?/D E -Mail: &N6 ncl er n hcq o y.6o -.

The senior center certification process has increased the base funding for those who have successfully completed this process.

Therefore, in order to provide an incentive to work toward certification, and to reward those who achieve it, the Division is again funding senior centers, equally, based on their certification status. The objectives for this year as in years past are to: • Allocate funding equally to every center, based upon certification status; • Require documentation and accountability for the use of funding, and; • Provide incentives for centers to improve themselves through certification.
