Abstract

As the population of older Americans grows, the demand for healthcare services for the elderly will also increase dramatically. Even more funding will be needed to develop and support services that the growing elderly population will require, and professionals serving the aging will have to compete for these dollars.

There is funding help for your organization, no matter your size, from foundations to federal programs that focus on programs serving the needs of the elderly. Programs just like yours have received funds to begin new projects, train healthcare professionals, develop programs to reach out to the community, and improve healthcare services. Whether your program is hospital-based, a home health service, or community-based, you can benefit from the information in this special report.

For most professionals serving the elderly the problem is having the time to do the necessary funding research — “who’s giving for what” — deciding what’s fundable and then writing the grant proposal. Now there’s a solution. Healthcare senior services professionals around the country have relied on past editions of Grant Funding for Elderly Health Services to help plan a strategy for winning grants.

This useful guide points you in the direction of millions of dollars in grant funds from federal agencies and charitable foundations. Most important of all, though, it helps you understand the process and what draws the interest of the funders.

In response to the increasing population of elders, foundations, corporations and government institutions have made senior healthcare a grantmaking priority. To reflect this trend in grantmaking to elderly health services, Grant Funding for Elderly Health Services has devoted one chapter each to various aspects of senior health services, including:
