Description
The objective is to invite eligible organizations to submit an application that broadly describes a concept for a collective impact plan that will measurably increase the social inclusion of vulnerable seniors.
This process aims to:
– build the collective capacity of organizations to recognize and address barriers to social inclusion faced by vulnerable seniors
– provide access to information, programs, and services for vulnerable seniors to enhance their social inclusion within their communities
– support services to seniors as part of action research to better understand effective approaches for increasing the level of social inclusion of vulnerable seniors in their communities
– develop innovative approaches to engage and keep senior volunteers to improve their social inclusion in their communities
– address systemic barriers that contribute to the social isolation of vulnerable seniors
Through this process, we will fund backbone organizations to act as intermediaries. Backbone organizations will work with collaborating organizations to put in place a collective impact initiative.
Call for concepts
A 2-step process used in determining Grants and Contributions funding. Step 1 is a competitive process where applicants submit their concepts. Those successful in the first step get invited to the second step. Step 2 consists of developing a full proposal based on the successful step 1 concept.
