The Government of Ontario announced that applications are now open for the Ontario Seniors Community Grant Program. The grants, ranging from $1000 to $25,000, support local, not-for-profit community groups and organizations to deliver programs and learning opportunities for Ontarians aged 55+. Programming can be delivered either remotely, virtually, or in-person. The funding enables community groups across the province to offer a wide variety of activities that help seniors 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.

Eligibility
Applicants may be:

• incorporated organizations that can apply for up to $25,000
• individuals representing local, unincorporated seniors’ groups that can apply for a maximum of $10,000

Projects must involve older adults and meet at least one of the ministry’s key priorities outlined in the program guidelines. Approved projects are anticipated to start by June 2025 and must be completed by March 31, 2026.

Application Deadline: January 16, 2025, at 5 p.m. ET
