[BC-Wide] Funding to Collaborate

To support collaborative efforts, United Way BC Healthy Aging is excited to re-launch the Funding to Collaborate stream. This fund is available to Healthy Aging Community Collaboratives that require financial support to enhance seniors-focused collaboration within their region. This can include costs for meeting costs, venue rentals, food for collaborative partner meetings, facilitator fees, etc.

Between $1,000-$5,000 is available per Healthy Aging Community Collaborative. Applying organizations should agree on, and designate, a single organization to apply on behalf of the current or future Community Collaborative.

Apply here - Application for Funding to Collaborate.

Please note: Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis and priority will be given to Healthy Aging Community Collaboratives who have not already received funding to collaborate.

To support the completion of your application, please review United Way BC Granting Portal User Guides for step-by-step guides on how to register for a new account and apply for a grant. If you prefer a video format, please see [Recording] Granting Portal Training Session for Healthy Aging applications.

For reference and more information on Healthy Aging’s Program & Service Delivery Model, please find the slides and recording from the Provincial Information session on ‘What We Heard’ - United Way BC Healthy Aging's New Program and Service Design, held on October 31, 2023.
