The Foster Grandparent Program provides contracts to qualified organizations for the dual purposes of engaging persons 55 and older, particularly those with limited incomes, in volunteer service to meet critical community needs and of providing high-quality experiences that will enrich the lives of the volunteers. Foster grandparents provide supportive, person-to-person services to children who have exceptional needs, or who are in circumstances that limit their academic, social, or emotional development. State-funded foster grandparents may receive stipends to support their volunteer work.
