Aplications are now being accepted for the 2024-25 Ontario Seniors Community Grant Program. This program supports local, not-for-profit community groups and organizations to deliver programs and learning opportunities for Ontarians aged 55+.
“Seniors Community Grants are a great way for seniors to stay active and connected to our community” said MPP Vic Fedeli. “We strongly encourage all local, not-for-profit organizations that are interested in seniors programming to apply!”
"Every year, the Ontario government provides hundreds of Seniors Community Grants ranging from $1,000 to $25,000 – funding that allows community groups across the province to offer a wide variety of activities to live independently, ensure their safety and security, connect them to their community, avoid isolation and help them achieve greater financial security and social connections," says a news release.
Activities and services supported by the program include:
- fitness and nutrition classes to keep adults aged 55+ active, healthy, and socially connected to their communities
- opportunities for community engagement to reduce social isolation and increase volunteerism
- increasing access to information and support for health prevention and promotion
Applications are open now and will be accepted until 5 pm on March 28.
Eligible organizations must apply for a Seniors Community Grant through Transfer Payment Ontario
