Our Helping Seniors (Small Grant) program is intended to assist any private citizen or organization (student, civic, etc.) who wishes to assist an individual or group of seniors by completing a project that could improve their living conditions or quality of life. Examples might include building a handicap ramp at the private home of a senior; adding senior-friendly activity equipment at a local park; developing and provisioning an activity program for a senior living facility; repairing/improving in-home accessibility or outdoor safety at a home.

Last quarter's small grant assisted a senior citizen with roof repairs.

A single grant of up to $1000 will be awarded each quarter. For 2nd quarter 2020, the application period opens on April 1; completed applications should be returned by the May 15 deadline; submissions will be reviewed and one grant will be awarded by June 15. Any government or agency permissions required would also need to be obtained by the applying person/organization.
