This grant supports projects that help older adults age well in their communities. It’s part of a multiyear investment focused on areas like social prescribing, community support, and assisted transportation. The transportation stream helps provide door-through-door services so seniors, especially in rural or underserved areas, can get to medical, social, and daily-life destinations.

Nonprofit organizations and registered charities in Alberta can apply. Priority goes to groups serving communities with many older adults or those lacking existing services. Projects that include collaboration with municipalities or health providers and that serve equity-deserving populations are especially encouraged.
