Minnesota Board on Aging The Minnesota Board on Aging is the gateway to services and supports for older Minnesotans.

The MBA listens to senior concerns, researches solutions, and proposes policy to address senior needs. The Board administers funds from the Older Americans Act that provide a spectrum of services to seniors, including Senior LinkAge Line®, insurance counseling and more. First established in 1956, the Minnesota Board on Aging is a governor-appointed board that is one of the pioneers in the field of aging policy, information, and assistance. The MBA works closely with Minnesota’s Area Agencies on Aging to provide services that seniors need.

Minnesota Board on Aging grants will support people with dementia, those who care for them Eight organizations across Minnesota will use state grant funds to increase awareness of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, promote early diagnosis and connect caregivers to resources. Nearly $750,000 in grants will go out this fall from the Minnesota Board on Aging.

“These funds support not only people with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, but their family and friends, who play such a critical role in caregiving,” said Maureen Schneider, chair of the Minnesota Board on Aging. “Alzheimer’s alone impacts some 120,000 Minnesotans over age 65. And of the family and friends caring for them, 25 percent are ‘sandwich caregivers’ who balance caring for an aging friend or relative with raising children.” https://mn.gov/board-on-aging/news-and-events/news-stories.jsp?id=1141-770419

In Minnesota, roughly 18,000 grandparents are responsible for their grandchildren. For every one child raised by kin in foster care, there are six being raised outside the formal foster care system.
They are keeping kids safe and loved, yet these grandparents often go unseen and unsupported — despite having unique needs of their own. We see them, and we’re listening. By working alongside grandparents who are kin caregivers, we can better support them and their families.

September is National Kinship Care Month – a time to recognize the experiences of kinship and grandfamilies, celebrate their strengths and challenges, and re-commit building stronger systems that recognize and support them.
Join Minnesota in honoring the grandparents, other relatives and close family friends who step up to raise children when parents cannot. Their commitment keeps families connected and communities strong.
