Active Aging

What Active Aging does

Active Aging, Inc. is a private, nonprofit Area Agency on Aging established in 1974 and headquartered in the Lew Davies Community Building at 1034 Park Avenue, Meadville, Pennsylvania. It is the designated county-level agency for Crawford County under Pennsylvania's Department of Aging framework, serving approximately 24,000 residents aged 60 and over through a network of five community centers (Meadville, Cambridge Springs, Canadohta Lake, Lakeland Valley/Linesville, and Titusville) and a suite of in-home and counseling services.

Its service portfolio spans congregate and home-delivered meals, personal care, caregiver support and reimbursements, care management, protective services for at-risk elders, PA MEDI Medicare counseling, SHARE Housing matching, long-term care ombudsman advocacy, fitness programs (Healthy Steps in Motion, Silver Sneakers, Tai Chi), Senior Farmers Market vouchers, and PAWS pet food support. Operational infrastructure is intentionally low-tech: standard administrative and communication systems, no proprietary technology platform, no API exposure, and no disclosed AI/ML capability. Five local Facebook pages and a monthly newsletter ("The ECHO") carry marketing and community engagement.

Revenue is anchored by block grant funding from the Pennsylvania Department of Aging (sourced via Pennsylvania Lottery proceeds and set in the annual state budget), supplemented by a separately incorporated Active Aging Foundation (1994) that runs reverse raffles, charity golf outings, bingo, bus trips, hall rentals of the Community Center of Crawford County, and donations/endowments/bequests. Direct user fees are nominal — a suggested $3 donation per lunch and $1 per use of exercise equipment — and services are effectively free at point of use to eligible seniors. Customer reach is concentrated in a single rural Pennsylvania county, with CATA providing door-to-door transportation and a new Cambridge Springs capital campaign underway in 2026.

Revenue model

1. Government Block Grants: Active Aging, Inc. receives block grant funding from the Pennsylvania Department of Aging, which provides funding through the Pennsylvania Lottery. Funding levels are determined within the annual state budget by the Governor and members of the Legislature. This is the primary revenue source supporting programs and services.
2. Foundation Fundraising: The Active Aging Foundation raises money through special event activities including weekly bingo games, annual golf outings, reverse raffles, cash calendars, instant ticket booths at the Crawford County Fair, and bus trips/tours. Also receives donations from individuals and businesses.
3. Facility Rentals: The Community Center of Crawford County (owned by the Active Aging Foundation) generates revenue through room rentals for weddings, receptions, business meetings, seminars, and other events. Also offers on-site professional catering services.
4. Program Donations: Older adults are invited to make suggested donations for meals and services. Lunches are a suggested $3.00 donation. Exercise equipment usage is $1. These donations help offset service delivery costs.
