Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

A broad multi-disciplinary network that works to ensure we can all live healthy, engaged, and secure lives as we age in our homes and communities. With the voices of people with lived experience, we work on policy issues related to poverty, housing, transportation, food, social connection and care across all settings.

  • A primary focus of the work this year was to address food insecurity and social isolation of older people across ME, NH, VT, NY, and MA. This was accomplished by standing up a learning network across the region, focused on programs that work to address these issues. Another part of the work was to offer micro-grants to organizations for sustainable activities that would strengthen food access and social inclusion of older people.

    Expenses $1,030,850

  • MCOA is advancing informed and innovative solutions to the barriers that stand in the way of us all living healthy, engaged, and secure lives as we age at home and in community settings. This work spans many sectors and issues, including housing, transportation, workforce, both ensuring an adequate direct care workforce and ensuring older workers are included as a part of the solution to Maine's workforce shortage, care across all settings, and support for family care partners.

    Expenses $585,876

  • Our Reframing Aging initiative was reborn as our Power in Aging Initiative in 2021. This project engages groups of people, specifically targeting HR directors, the media, healthcare, and employers, in conversations about ageism and the importance to our health, workforce, and economy, to building an age-positive culture and outlook in these areas.

    Expenses $214,605

  • MeHAF is a three-year project aimed at growing Maine's Essential Care and Support Workforce by increasing the number and kinds of people who are engaged in the conversation about this workforce and by issuing reports that underscore the economic value of this workforce to our economy, as well as the cost of doing nothing.

    Expenses $151,350

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
