The seniors grant program for community-based projects supports programs and events that are designed by seniors for seniors! This program funds projects that empower seniors to connect, engage and contribute to their communities, thereby improving their health and well-being. For the purpose of this grant a “senior” will refer to any person of, or over the age of 55.
Eligible organizations or groups can apply for grant funding* for projects that are led by, or for seniors and are volunteer-based. Consideration will be given to those groups that are not solely senior led, with the condition that the planning process collects seniors’ feedback from the community. Programs and services must be provided to seniors within Leduc County.
*Leduc County suggests a funding request of approximately $2,000.
Applications will be accepted from Jan. 2 to Jan. 31, 2023.
