Louisville grants ElderServe $75,000 as its board addresses financial distress and a CEO resignation
Louisville Metro announced an immediate $75,000 grant intended to keep ElderServe’s meals and senior programs operating without interruption. Local reporting said CEO Timothy Findley had resigned earlier that week after warning in August that the nonprofit could close without government support. Board chair Kirstie Matzek said the board had not yet fully diagnosed the internal circumstances behind the financial crisis.
