Summary

This grant is aimed at nonprofit organizations supporting programs or projects that benefit older adults—especially those age 55 or older—who may be financially constrained or socially isolated. The goal is to help them live dignified, engaged lives, maintaining their health, independence, and well‑being.

Grant awards typically go up to $5,000, though occasionally larger amounts may be considered for capital‑type projects. The funding is not generally intended to cover salary or benefits of staff; program or project costs are more commonly supported.


Applicants must serve older adults and must show how the work will address needs like social isolation, economic hardship, or health and wellness among that population. Projects that have served many older adults in the past and have demonstrated results are viewed more favorably; showing impact or prior success strengthens an application.


The application deadline is October 15 annually, with decisions made in November. Applications must be submitted online via the foundation’s grant portal. After initial review, additional supporting documentation may be requested.


Benefits include the funding itself, of course, but also recognition and strengthened capacity to serve older adults locally. Because the grant is selective, getting funding can lend credibility.


Overall, this grant opportunity is a strong match if your nonprofit is doing work for older adults, has measurable outcomes or past success, isn’t relying on grant funds for staffing, and is seeking modest funding to enhance programming or impact.


This grant may be available to individuals and organizations in Wisconsin that are actively involved in Non-Profit Support Services. To locate more funding opportunities in your field, visit The Grant Portal and search by interest area using the Search Grant tool.
