This survey of grantmakers and experts in the field of aging gives a picture of where grantmakers
say their funds will be targeted in the first half of the 1990s and where experts believe these
funds should go. A review of the similarities between grantmakers and experts indicates that
community-based support services geared toward traditional populations are a priority among
both groups. The most dramatic difference is in how best to package these services. We discuss
implications of the findings.
