  Help fund programs for seniors this tax season, remember, it's not too late to check line 28!

  The ElderCare Trust Fund awards grants to non-profit organizations that create programs to help our state's seniors live in dignity at home. Only non-profit organizations are eligible to receive grants from the Fund. The ElderCare Trust Fund does not make awards directly to individuals. One hundred percent of donations go toward promoting and funding the Eldercare Trust fund and the programs that provide services to seniors.
