How would you rate this funder's accessibility?

Good

Their program officer is really nice, and helped us get a sense of why we were funded one year, and not another one. Also gave us an idea for strategy for reapplication.

Good

If you had one piece of advice to give to this funder (about grantmaking or anything else), what would it be?

Keep on funding causes related to older adults. Our youth-besotted society does not seem to care about seniors, and the philanthropic options out there are limited. We appreciate so much the foundations who will support services for seniors!
