The Council on Senior Services is proud to be able to provide Grants to local organizations who provide valuable services for seniors living in Northeast Indiana.
Each organization must show that their request for grant funds follows the Mission Statement of the Council on Senior Services…"To promote services and benefits available to seniors in Northeast Indiana through a network of individuals and organizations, catering to the elderly."
The focus of each request should mirror the purposes of the Council on Senior Services. These purposes include providing education, information and advocating for seniors. These purposes are to be accomplished using a grassroots approach.
A maximum total amount will be awarded annually via the COSS grant process. The amount requested and the annual maximum award per organization is not guaranteed. The awarded amount will be determined by the COSS Board of Directors.
In order to continue to qualify for subsequent grant awards, a written report evaluating the project will be required by the COSS Board of Directors by May 1st. There will also be an opportunity to provide an oral report to the general COSS membership at the May meeting.
Grant applications will open on July 1st, 2024. The Grant applications are due by October 1st, 2024 and will be awarded at the November 2024 COSS Meeting
In 2023, Council on Senior Services awarded $16,475 in grants to multiple entities benefiting the maturing population of Northeastern Indiana. The main focus for 2023 grants were agencies that provide meals and food to seniors. Funds for the grants were generated by COSS membership dues and by advertisement sales in the highly sought-after COSS Senior Resource Guide.
The COSS Board focused on awarding grants broadly in order to positively impact as many seniors in Northeaster Indiana as possible.
