Deadline: Ongoing

Summary
This grant supports charitable and community-driven initiatives aimed at enriching the lives of seniors across a broad region of Canada. Designed for registered nonprofit organizations, particularly those already focused on creating meaningful elder experiences, it offers one-time funding of up to $50,000. The primary goal is to bolster creative, engaging programs that uplift senior well-being, whether through arts and cultural events, social connections, health-oriented activities, or direct support to informal caregivers. Grant recipients are encouraged to launch their programs in the spring and complete them well before the end of the following winter.
Eligible applicants include charities and community groups that serve older adults, especially those offering interactive or wellness-focused initiatives. The funding is not intended for ongoing operational costs or overhead, but rather for special projects that spark joy, reduce isolation, or strengthen care networks among seniors and their caregivers. Examples might include intergenerational arts workshops, outdoor exercise classes tailored to older adults, caregiver respite support, or new social outreach activities. The expectation is that projects will meaningfully enhance social ties, cognitive engagement, or emotional support for seniors in various communities.
This opportunity is available nationwide to registered Canadian non‑profits with a clear mandate to improve senior quality of life. Individual seniors, for-profit businesses, or research institutions not structured as charities are not eligible. The application window typically opens in early February and closes at the end of that month, with funding awarded in late March. Projects should begin around May and wrap up by the end of January the next year. Grant awardees receive a single lump sum payment and are expected to provide a brief report demonstrating how the funds supported joyful, well-rounded programming for seniors and caregivers.
Overall, this grant offers a thoughtfully targeted approach to fostering meaningful engagement, creative expression, and enhanced well-being among older adults, through community-led, charitable activities. It’s particularly well suited to nonprofits ready to launch short-term, high-impact projects that bring seniors and caregivers together in supportive, innovative ways.
