The Ohio District 5 Area Agency on Aging, Inc. is offering grant opportunities to address social isolation among Richland County older adults.
Older adults are at increased risk for loneliness and social isolation due to factors such as living alone, the loss of family or friends, chronic illness, and hearing loss.
The purpose of these competitive grants is to provide funding to organizations who demonstrate the ability to reach and support Richland County older adults (those age 60 and older) with innovative and effective methods for combatting social isolation. This funding opportunity is made possible by the Richland County Senior Services Levy. There is no required match by awardees. Successful applicants will present a clear and innovative plan for how they will interact and engage with at-risk older adults in group settings throughout the year. Awardees can receive up to $10,000 to fund their project. The funding period is from July 15, 2024, through December 31, 2024.
Applications are available. The deadline to apply has been extended to Monday, June 17, 2024, by 4 PM. The application window will close on June 17, 2024, at 4:01 PM.
