Retirement Research Foundation Responsive Grants

Deadline: 03/15/2019

One of the premier foundations dedicated to improving the standard and quality of life for those 65 years of age or older, the Retirement Research Foundation advocates for the inclusion, prosperity, connection, and voice of older Americans.

In support of that mission, the foundation currently is accepting applications for projects in aging through its Responsive Grants program. Applications are accepted in a number of categories, including direct service projects dedicated to improving community programming, support services, education, and care quality and coordination to enhance the quality of life of older adults; advocacy projects that work to advance policy issues through collaboration; professional education and training projects that improve the skill sets and proficiency of professionals who care for older adults; and research projects that explore both the causes and tangible solutions of the myriad issues facing older adults.
