A History of the STAR Awards Program
The Beverly Foundation began its trademark STAR Awards program in 2000. From 2000 until 2003 it was a partnership between the Beverly Foundation and the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. Beginning in 2004, the STAR Awards Program was organized and funded by the Beverly Foundation.
STAR Awards winners are identified from STAR Search survey submissions by organizations and groups throughout the country. The surveys have produced considerable data on more than 1,300 STPs (Supplemental Transportation Programs for seniors). Each STPs is included in a database with information on its history, location, organization, services, finances, and risk management practices. In addition to program and service information for each entry in the database, program reviews and case studies are available for many of the winners of STAR Awards.
