The Sacramento Region Community Foundation offers the Senior and Family Services grant to support nonprofit organizations operating within Sacramento County that serve seniors and low-income families. The Foundation seeks to improve the quality of life for these communities through direct support for programs that address basic needs, promote independent living, and ensure access to essential services.
This grant opportunity is designed to fund organizations that are well-prepared to deliver effective services. Eligible projects may include those that assist seniors with transportation, food delivery, housing assistance, or home modifications that accommodate immobility. For low-income families, the grant supports projects that address health-related home improvements and living assistance. Applicants must demonstrate how their project aligns with their organizational mission and include clear, measurable goals and outcomes.
Eligible applicants must be either a 501(c)(3) public charity or have a fiscal sponsor with that designation. In addition, they must be located in Sacramento County and actively provide effective programs for seniors or low-income families. Grant applications will be accepted exclusively through the Foundation’s online portal. Paper or email submissions will not be considered.
The application window opens on February 3, 2025, and closes on March 7, 2025. Award decisions and notifications are expected after the close of the application period. Grants of up to $4,500 will be awarded to selected applicants. There is no stated requirement for matching funds, and the total funding pool has not been disclosed.
For assistance with the application system, organizations may contact the Sacramento Region Community Foundation via the provided grant email. All applicants should verify that their organization’s name, tax ID, and mailing address are current in their grant profile. Fiscally sponsored organizations should also ensure their fiscal sponsor’s information is accurate.
Ensure your organization and fiscal sponsor information is up to date in the grant profile; applications must include measurable goals aligned with mission.
