1st Quarter 2026 Grant Applications Period opens on January 1, 2026. Application period will close on March 15, 2026.
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. Personal grant applications are also accepted for one-time expenses such as yard work, fixing or replacing an appliance, or urgent minor home repair; or medical equipment such as a walker.
At least one grant of up to $1,500 will be awarded each quarter. Several smaller grants make take the place of one large one, so you are encouraged to apply for an expense or project for a senior in need that may only require a few hundred dollars.
For 1st quarter 2026, the application period opens on January 1; completed applications should be returned by the March 15 deadline; submissions will be reviewed and one grant will be awarded March 30, 2026. Any government or agency permissions required would also need to be obtained by the applying person/organization.
