AoA Renews Project’s Funding

The federal Administration on Aging renewed in October 2002 the grant that has been the main source of funding for the New England Pension Assistance Project.  The renewal is for two years at $150,000 per year.

“This grant is our base funding for the Project,” said Attorney Ellen Bruce, Associate Director of the UMass Boston Gerontology Institute and Director of the Pension Action Center, of which the Pension Assistance Project is an important part.  “It’s gratifying that the government continues to recognize the value of what we do.”

Other current funders of the Pension Assistance Project are the Boston Bar Foundation, the Massachusetts Bar Foundation, and the University of Massachusetts Boston.
