National Center for Creative Aging Invites Organizational Members to Apply for MetLife Foundation Creativity and Aging in America Technical Assistance Grant
Deadline: May 4, 2012

The National Center for Creative Aging is accepting applications for the MetLife Foundation Creativity and Aging in America Technical Assistance Grant.

The program provides grants of $5,000 to develop arts and aging programs in selected communities in the areas of Lifelong Learning, Health and Wellness, and Community Engagement.

Each grant will support 1) Mentorship — the selected site will bring one of the MetLife Foundation Leadership Award Winners to provide onsite technical assistance, mentoring senior staff and helping to train staff, partnering organizations, and community members in developing an arts program in their setting; and 2) Best Practice Forum — a half-day forum bringing together programs, organizations, individuals, and community partners dedicated to arts, education, health, social work, and aging in the community.

Applicants must have 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status (organizations operating under the fiscal sponsorship of another agency are not eligible); have an annual organizational budget of at least $150,000; and be a current NCCA Organizational Member. Organizations selected must demonstrate the capacity to develop an arts and aging program in their setting with sustainability of the program as a goal.
