Grantee Profile | Campus Kitchens Project

“AARP Foundation’s funding has been transformational for The Campus Kitchens Project. First, we will deepen our understanding of how Campus Kitchens impact the lives of older adults through a rigorous research partnership with the University of Georgia. Second, we will share our most effective independently verified strategies, equipping student leaders in communities all over America to adopt and adapt solutions to hunger and isolation among our older neighbors.”

—Alexander Moore, Chief Development Officer at Campus Kitchens   

The Campus Kitchens Project will measure the impact of their national programming for adults age 50 and older. Over 30 months, they will:

• Establish an evidence base for the Campus Kitchen model
• Replicate the model across existing Campus Kitchen chapters
• Scale the model by creating new Campus Kitchen chapters

The Campus Kitchens Project will expand their programmatic reach through a robust literature review, evaluation sub-grants to Campus Kitchen chapters, and identification of outcome metrics that align with best practices  in the field.
