Applications are now being accepted for the 2025-26 Ontario Seniors Community Grant Program.
The province will award grants to community groups and not-for-profit organizations that provide physical, mental, and social programs for Ontarians aged 55 and older.
"Our government is committed to improving the well-being of Ontario's seniors by providing learning opportunities and social and physical activities in their communities," said Minister for Seniors and Accessibility Raymond Cho. "That's why we're proud to support the Seniors Community Grant Program, which gives so many people the opportunity to learn new skills, socialize and take part in community life."
Since 2018, the province has supported over 1,800 grassroots projects that help seniors stay socially and physically active in their communities.
The program offers grants ranging from $1,000 to $25,000.
For 2025-26, the focus of the Seniors Community Grants Program will be on three key areas:
Providing opportunities for older adults to stay active and connected in their communities, such as weekly physical activities and social engagements
Developing technology and digital solutions to support seniors' social engagement and access to programs and services
Increasing access to information and supports for health prevention and promotion
Applications will be accepted until 5 p.m. on January 16th.
