TFA and Amerigroup Agree to Continue Local Memory Café Grants!  

The Tennessee Federation for the Aging (TFA) in partnership with Amerigroup TN is continuing a grant program in 2023 to create Memory Café programs in each Grand Division. With financial support from Amerigroup, TFA is providing grants to local organizations to begin Memory Café activities.

Memory Cafés offer people with dementia and their care partners the opportunity to enjoy regular, enjoyable social interaction with others in similar circumstances in a safe, welcoming environment. Memory Cafés share the commitment to offering hospitality, interesting and engaging programs and information about dementia and appropriate resources.   

    Non-profit community-based organizations eligible to apply for TFA Memory Café Grants include, but are not limited to, churches; senior centers; public libraries; Councils on Aging; adult education programs; organized community groups; and charitable social organizations. Host organizations receiving TFA Memory Café Grants must agree to publicize and open their Memory Café gatherings to any local interested community members, regardless of membership in their organization.
