Foundation: Douglas County Community Foundation, Douglas County Community Foundation, Douglas County Community Foundation
Colorado's Douglas County has been awarded $185,000 in grants to help people age in place.
The Denver Post reports the money is from the Philip S.
Miller Trust, which was established by the late philanthropist and his wife, Jessie.
According to the Douglas County Community Foundation, the Millers wanted to give back to the county they loved so much that they created the trust in their wills.
Since then, it's given out more than $2 million.
This year, $185,000 was awarded to 34 organizations in the county, including three that provide services to older adults.
