• For instance, what are the MIFA Program Characteristics? http://www.mifa.org/seniorcompanion

• What is the Vision?• What is the Mission?• What is the Program description?

STATISTICS

• Zip Code statistics http://www.census.gov/epcd/www/zipstats.html • A good place to start•How does this population compare to the state, county, or city overall?
