What percentage of your Elder Grants Program funds was directed to each of these areas?
(Provide appropriate percentage to reflect the time and/or resources you have devoted to each of
these areas during the current reporting period. The total should equal 100%.)
Throughout this form, the term sexual assault includes both assaults committed by offenders who are
strangers to the victim/survivor and assaults committed by offenders who are known to, related by blood
or marriage to, or in a dating relationship with the victim/survivor. The term domestic violence/dating
violence applies to any pattern of coercive behavior that is used by one person to gain power and control
over a current or former intimate partner or dating partner. Stalking is defined as a course of conduct
directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to fear for his or her safety or the safety
of others, or suffer substantial emotional distress. Elder abuse is the physical, sexual, emotional, or financial abuse or neglect or abandonment of an older person by a family member, fiduciary agent, or caregiver.

However, the total number of victims/survivors reported under “Race/ethnicity” should not be less than the
total number of victims/survivors reported in questions 26A and 26B. The total number of victims/survivors
reported under “Gender” and the total number reported under “Age” should equal the total number of
victims/survivors reported in questions 26A and 26B. Those victims/survivors for whom gender, age, and/
