By providing funding to non-profit organizations, the New Horizons for Seniors Program helps to ensure that seniors can benefit from, and contribute to, the quality of life in their communities, through active living and participation in social activities.

The program funds projects that help improve the quality of life for seniors and their communities – from enabling seniors to share their knowledge, wisdom and experiences with others, to improving facilities for seniors’ programs and activities, to raising awareness of elder abuse.

There are three kinds of funding: Community Participation and Leadership, Capital Assistance, and Elder Abuse Awareness.

For Capital Assistance Funding, grants of up to $25,000 are available for upgrading community facilities and equipment related to existing programs and activities for seniors. Deadline: October 8, 2010.

Please visit Capital Assistance Funding for further details on how to file for a grant.
