The Community Foundation of St. Joseph County aims to promote organizations that benefit the local residents, assist agencies in responding to community needs, reward not-for-profit excellence, maintain a proactive and responsive grants focus, encourage innovative and collaborative efforts for improving local health and well-being, and enhance cooperation among area institutions.
The Senior Living Initiative Grant Program funds initiatives that support senior housing and efforts aimed at meeting basic needs, promoting health and quality of care, fostering community engagement, and improving access to community resources for seniors, especially those most in need. The program prioritizes projects based on community need, the strength and innovation of the concept, efficient use of resources through excellent program design and collaboration, solutions to current and future needs, and the organization’s ability to implement the project effectively.
