APPLICATION FOR PROGRAM FUNDING As a designated United Way of Eagle River Valley Agency, you are eligible to apply for funding from Campaign 2003. The United Way funds specific programs rather than general agency operations, with priority given to programs that address community issues including alcohol and substance abuse, suicide and depression, and parenting. Please use the space below to tell us about the program and clients for which you are seeking funding. Be as specific as possible. After all applications are received, teams of community members serving as the Allocations Committee will meet with United Way member agencies to review funding requests and learn more about your proposed program. 1. Describe the program to be funded. If this is a collaborative, interagency project, please describe each agency's role in the program. Please describe how the neat for the program was determined. The 2004 Senior Welness/Caregiver Awareness event will be more diverse in structure from previous events while still addressing nutrition, pnysicai ana menzai nealzn, nealzn screenings, ana entertainment. Caregiver Awareness will include stress reduction techniques, balancing life responsibilities, and the finances of providing care. Hispanic speakers will have the opportunity to present information on culturaly sensitive issues. The need was determined by assessing the-population growth among older adults, the likel~:hood of becoming a care provider, and the apparent lack of outreach to Eagle County's Hispanic population .on - matters concerning older adults and care providers. Z. How many Eagle County residents will you serve in this program? What are the demographics of these clients? Provide historical data if available, and projections for the future. Please use an unduplicated headcount - that is, count each individual or family only once for each year. Approximately four thousand Eagle County residents could be served by this program: The senior population (~~ years and older) comprise .:five, percent of the county's population. Cade providers- (whet;her family or professional) will reflect this gn up~=; o _ now an n the projected future. The Hispanic group with its projected growth, will receive information and instruc- tion in Spanish as well as through volunteer translators. The older population is projected to increase within the next seven years, with the largest growth occuring in the Hispanic population through aging and migration. Addressing the needs and coricerns now will greatly aid those persons who are caring for an older person or who anticipate providing care soon. . , Z003Unlted Way ojEagle Rlver Valley Fanding Application, page S ojS OTHER: Please include any other information you feel would be helpful for United Way Board members and community members as they review this application.
