Funding for the Resources Department

We ask for a suggested contribution of $25/half hour to help support the services of the Resources Department. 

The Resources Department at the Grand Forks Senior Center is funded by Mill Levy funds, grants, local contributions, donations, and memorials. Resources receives very little state funding and no federal funding.

The Greater Grand Forks Senior Citizens Association (legal name) is committed to the policy that all persons shall have equal access to its programs.
