Kendal Charitable Funds
is seeking proposals for promising innovations that will transform the
experience of aging. Established in 1989, the organization raises and
disburses funds in support of the charitable purposes of the Kendal Corporation and its affiliates, a system of not-for-profit communities, programs, and services for older adults.
The funds' Promising Innovations grant program seeks to support new
projects designed to enhance the lives of older adults, whether through
services, research, and/or developing new understandings and awareness
of the potential for aging well. The program is looking for pilot
projects that address one or more of these criteria. Priority will be
given to opportunities that have the greatest potential for change and
replication to impact the greatest number of individuals.
Potential project topics include but are not limited to 1) The Field
of Aging — wellness enhancement, quality of life, multi-generational
relationships, and home and community; and 2) Populations of Older
Adults — frail, thriving, underserved, minority, and cognitively
impaired. In addition, the foundation may consider other grants to
individuals and organizations whose proposals compliment these topics. Grants are available only for new programs; existing programs are not eligible for funding.
Amount: $25,000
