Sarah Ralston Foundation invites applications from organizations serving older adults in Philadelphia – Sep 1

Posted by Sarah Ralston Foundation on August 1, 2023

The Sarah Ralston Foundation supports and enhances the quality of life of vulnerable and underserved older adults in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania.

The foundation invites applications for its Innovative Project Support program. Through the program, grants typically between $25,000 and $125,000 per year for up to three years will be awarded to support projects serving vulnerable and underserved older adults in Philadelphia County.

Innovative project support develops, extends, tests, and evaluates approaches to what sometimes seem to be intractable challenges, and innovative initiatives should be more effective than, and should ultimately displace, prevailing approaches. Examples include but are not limited to projects intended to discover new and better ways of solving pervasive problems that impact older adults, seemingly small interventions that that when scaled, can have a significant impact on addressing a big problem, and organizations and projects led by entrepreneurial leadership teams who are skilled at testing new ideas.

Eligible organizations include 501(c)(3) public charities, fiscally sponsored organizations or programs, supporting organizations, and other 501(c) organizations (within legal limits).

Application deadline: September 1, 2023
