Why do applicants for the Foster Grandparent Program need to meet eligibility requirements?
The Foster Grandparent Program is a federally-funded program designed to make it possible for low-income seniors to contribute to their community. The program pays a small stipend ($2.65 per hour) and provides other economic benefits (such as travel reimbursement) that are intended to address the economic needs of the low-income seniors so they can afford to volunteer. Federal regulations restrict the program to individuals aged 55 and over who are low income.
