The Community Health Commission of Missouri, in partnership with Deaconess Foundation, launched a $350,000 Seniors Community Revitalization & Development Fund (Seniors Community Fund) to support services for seniors in the region. The Seniors Community Fund aims to improve the public health system infrastructure to better serve residents 55 years of age and older and promote transparency and accountability. The Fund’s community-led Senior Advisory Board, comprised of residents aged 55 and older, is now accepting funding proposals for up to $30,000 from organizations/projects/initiatives addressing three priority areas: transportation, safety, and health navigation support for seniors in the Greater St. Louis region and nearby counties in Illinois.

Prospective applicants should serve seniors in one or more of the following areas: the Greater St. Louis area (St. Louis City/County, St. Charles, Jefferson, and Franklin County) and Illinois (Madison, Monroe, and St. Clair County).

Applications will be reviewed by the Seniors Advisory Board, which is comprised of seniors and organizations serving seniors within the desired service areas.

Applications are due by Friday, October 11, 2024 at 11:59 pm.

If the applicant does not have a 501(c)(3) tax status, the applicant is eligible to apply with a fiscal sponsor.

If the applicant needs a fiscal sponsor and requires assistance identifying one, please reach out to Velva Hollimon, vhollimon@chcmissouri.org.
