APTA's Section on Geriatrics has authorized up to $50,000 to be matched dollar-for-dollar with donations made toward the Foundation’s Section on Geriatrics Fund through the end of 2011.

Many grants awarded by the Foundation have been associated with aging-related topics. The section aims to augment the current balance in the Geriatrics Fund, which is designated for research grants. A substantial increase by the end of 2011 will allow for a Geriatric Research Grant to be awarded in 2012.
