Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s stated mission is to bring independence-enhancing supportive services to people age 60 and older and their caregivers across its 17-county service area. Its 2026 Area Plan describes work to simplify access to community services, identify service gaps, develop solutions, and build collaboration among local providers.
SeniorAge’s stated service areas include information and assistance, care coordination and caregiver guidance, nutrition, health and wellness, and advocacy. Its 2023 filing describes direct and contracted services such as transportation, case management, homemaker and personal care, legal assistance, personal emergency response, and telephone reassurance. The filing also describes home-delivered meals distributed through senior centers and a meal-production program serving SeniorAge centers and sister agencies in Missouri.
Examples of grantees’ own stated missions illustrate the range of organizations receiving support. OATS Inc. says its mission is to enhance quality of life through safe, caring, and reliable transportation. Legal Services of Southern Missouri says it provides comprehensive civil legal services to low-income individuals and families in southern Missouri. The Council of Churches of the Ozarks says its mission is to invest, manage, and grow its endowment fund.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, SeniorAge reported 23 grants totaling $1,691,805. Grant amounts ranged from $8,400 to $382,165, with a median grant of $61,302.

SeniorAge’s May 1, 2025, announcement invited proposals for Fiscal Year 2026 services, including transportation, multipurpose senior centers, ombudsman, legal services, and evidence-based health programs. It also said qualifications would be accepted for other senior services. The announcement required an RFP, risk assessment, conflict-of-interest form, and contribution policy; proposals had to meet SeniorAge and Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services standards, with emphasis on outcome-based measures. Applicants were required to abide by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Small businesses, minority-owned firms, and women’s business enterprises were encouraged to participate.
