What Aging Strong does

Aging Strong is a Boise, Idaho-based nonprofit social services program operated under Jannus, delivering free community programs to older adults and family caregivers across the Treasure Valley region spanning Ada, Canyon, Elmore, Gem, Owyhee, and Boise Counties. Its core programs include the Respite Companion Caregiver Support Program (formerly Legacy Corps) — which provides in-home respite visits averaging four hours per week, transportation, and social events for military-connected older adults and their family caregivers — and the Foster Grandparent Program, which places AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers (predominantly age 70) as classroom tutors and mentors for K-12 students. Additional offerings include Powerful Tools for Caregivers, an evidence-based six-week caregiver self-care curriculum; Memory Cafe gatherings for individuals with memory loss and their caregivers; the Retired Seniors Volunteer Program; and the newer Improv to Improve Dementia Care workshop for caregivers and professionals.

The organization has no proprietary technology platform; service delivery relies on evidence-based curricula, improv-based training exercises, and community infrastructure (Squarespace website, Constant Contact event registration, Qgiv donation processing). There is no software product, mobile app, or API surface.

Business model is donation- and grant-funded rather than fee-for-service. All programs are free to participants. Revenue streams consist of public charitable donations accepted via the website, federal sponsorship through AmeriCorps Seniors (which provides stipends and program structure for Foster Grandparent and Senior Companion programs), grant funding from the Southwest Idaho Area Agency on Aging (subsidizing Powerful Tools for Caregivers), and disease-specific foundation grants such as the Alzheimer's Association. GTM motion is community-led, relying on school and library partnerships, VA and healthcare provider referrals, word-of-mouth within veteran and caregiver networks, and direct email and phone outreach by named program coordinators.
