Expand your service and help more people
A foundational principle of the Older Americans Act is to tailor programs and services to client needs to support them in remaining in their homes and communities. There’s nothing one-size-fits-all about AAAs or the services they offer their clients!
We are proud to work with these contracted providers who serve older adults in Eagle, Grand, Jackson, Pitkin, Summit, and Routt Counties in Colorado.
The next Request for Proposals (RFP) for new contracts will be released and available for completion beginning March 9, 2026 @ 11 am and will close on March 30, 2026 @ 12pm. The RFP Announcement can be found here: Vintage SFY27 & SFY28 RFP Announcement
Vintage, the Region 12 Area Agency on Aging, provides state and federal funding for community-based services through an open and competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process every two years. All potential contractors are given the opportunity to submit a proposal to provide one or more defined fundable services and must be able to comply with the applicable state and federal requirements.
