Information session: How to apply and receive $25,000 from the New Horizons For Seniors Grant

The New Horizons for Seniors Program Call for Proposals is now open and will close June 23rd, 2017. See https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/services/funding/new-horizons-seniors-community-based.html

Seniors make significant and valuable contributions to their families, communities and society. That is why the Government of Canada remains committed to empowering all Canadians, including seniors, to contribute to and share in the prosperity of the country. The NHSP call for proposals, open until June 23, 2017, is seeking proposals for projects led or inspired by seniors.

Organizations are invited to apply for funding for projects that promote positive aging and empower seniors to initiate and participate in activities that benefit the community. Eligible organizations can receive up to $25,000 in project funding.

Projects must address one or more of the following five program objectives:

  • promoting volunteerism among seniors and other generations;
  • engaging seniors in the community through the mentoring of others;
  • expanding awareness of elder abuse, including financial abuse;
  • supporting the social participation and inclusion of seniors;
  • and providing capital assistance for new and existing community projects and/or programs for seniors.

Peter Wooldridge, a Senior Development Officer with Service Canada’s Program Delivery Branch will be at the Maskwacis Cultural College Library, Friday, June 2nd, from1-4 pm to deliver a New Horizons for Seniors Program Information and Grant Writing Session.

This session will assist you in understanding the program and the requirements for writing a proposal with a better chance of success in receiving the funding.
