Federal Project Grant Award Summary

Axesspointe Community Health Center received a Project Grant award of $512,686 from the Corporation for National and Community Service's Office of Grants Management, effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029. This award funds the organization's 2026–27 Senior Companion Program (SCP) (CFDA 94.016) operations in Ohio. Under this grant, the organization deploys volunteers aged 55 and older—particularly those with limited incomes—to provide supportive services to adults with special needs. These services include companionship, light assistance with activities of daily living, transportation support, and informal monitoring of clients aging in place or residing in community settings.

The award requires Axesspointe to maintain a statutory match of 10 percent and a budgetary match of 10.03 percent, consistent with program requirements. Senior Companion volunteers also serve elder justice functions by helping identify and prevent financial fraud, abuse, and neglect, while providing respite support to informal caregivers. The grant supports a three-year program cycle designed to help vulnerable older adults maintain dignity and independence while enriching the volunteer experience for participating seniors.
