- Funding -
LSED receives significant
funding through the federal Older Americans Act, which is distributed
to the New York State Office for the Aging and finally to the county
Departments of Senior Services. LSED contracts with several Western
New York counties in the proportions illustrated in the attached
graph. Our single largest contract is with the Erie County
Department of Senior Services.
In 2010, LSED received two
grants from the Interest on Lawyers Account (IOLA) Fund: one for
general operating expenses and one for our Mortgage Foreclosure
Prevention Project with the Legal Aid Bureau. The IOLA fund was
established to receive the interest earned by funds held in client
accounts by attorneys. Although the interest on individual accounts
is negligible, when pooled in an IOLA account, the income is
sufficient to benefit needy persons. This source of revenue
supplemented our governmental contracts, allowing us to serve many
more clients than otherwise would have been possible. IOLA provides
critical support for our outreach programs to Hispanic and
African-American elderly.
Our local New York State
Assembly Members and Senators have been instrumental this year in
obtaining continued funding for our program. In the past years, we
have been fortunate to receive local initiative funding from both the
Assembly and the Senate, as well a small budget line for civil legal
services from the Assembly. In 2009 for the first time, the Senate
also provided critical funding for civil legal services programs
throughout New York. Although state funding for the 2010-2011 budget
has not been decided, we are hopeful that our local legislators will
continue to see the benefit of our program to their constitutents.
Each year we must ask the local
community to support the work we do. We run both an annual golf
tournament and a direct mail drive. In addition, we use staff and
board members to handle all special events, so that all of the funds
raised can go back into our program. As government funding has
gotten more scarce, we have had to ask more of our friends. Without
their support, we would be unable to accommodate the ever-increasing
calls for help. In 2010, private donations, special events and
fundraising totaled $82,115.00.
We would like to thank the
following donors who supported us in 2010. We apologize if we
neglected to include anyone. Please call Karen Nicolson at 853-3087
if you need to make any corrections.
