Seniors Can! Four Grants for seniors programming

Seniors Can! (Aînés Debout!) is an initiative of HelpAge Canada designed to help low-income seniors across Canada avoid isolation and loneliness and to engage more fully with their communities.

Through the generous support of the Founding Program Partner, HelpAge Canada offers four grants:

1. Grant A: Accessibility Grants of up to $2,000 are provided for an individual senior to cover the costs of mobility and communication enhancing equipment.*
2. Grant B: Well-Being Grants of up to $2,000 are available to support the overall well-being of an individual senior and may be applied to cover the costs of memberships and transportation for social programs or social services, amongst other things.*
3. Grant C: Innovative Programming Grants of up to $5,000 are available for an organization to deliver innovative social programming for seniors.
4. Grant D: Emergency Relief Grants of up to $5,000 are available for an organization and may be applied for repeatedly in extraordinary circumstances. Applications will be considered to support access to medications, food, hygiene products, personal care, social supports, and other provisions and services for either seniors directly or in some instances, an organization’s employees or volunteers.
