Seniors grant program

Overview of the Seniors grant program program:

The program is designed to fund community-based projects that are either led by seniors or inspired by their ideas and interests. It focuses on three main priorities: Aging Well, Inclusion and Diversity, and Connection and Engagement. Eligible projects may include intergenerational activities, health and wellness programs, educational workshops, and social events that foster a sense of belonging and support aging in place. A total of $15,000 is available for distribution among successful applicants, with no specific cap on individual funding requests; however, it is recommended that the requested amount aligns with the project's scope and the number of seniors impacted.
