    CHARITY RESPONSE TO REVIEW:
    Since 1974, DARTS has been a community leader in fostering successful aging and life transitions by offering affordable and flexible services and resources that create meaningful possibilities for individuals, families, and communities in Dakota County and beyond. We provide in-home services, transportation, community education, and volunteer opportunities that help older adults maintain the level of independence they choose. As a metropolitan area resource for family caregivers of elders, our caregiver services include a website, www.caregivermn.org, individualized coaching, support groups, and eldercare seminars in the community and workplaces. With national awards in caregiver services, transportation, and social entrepreneurship, DARTS is positioned to build new structures for future success. Financial stewardship is a critical commitment for DARTS, which is why we are proud to be recognized by the Charities Review Council for meeting all accountability standards.
