$6M in Grants Available in Maryland, Michigan for Aging-in-Place Programs

Enterprise Community Partners opened applications for the second round of grants in the Thome Aging Well Program to help older adults age safely and securely at home. The program will award up to $6 million in grants this year to nonprofit organizations interested in scaling social services and other supports provided to seniors with lower incomes in Maryland and Michigan. Grants will range from $75,000 to $300,000.

The grants are part of a four-year, $19-million program funded by the Edward N. and Della L. Thome Memorial Foundation, Bank of America trustee, to address the structural barriers that hinder the ability of older adults to age with dignity in their homes. In 2022, Enterprise awarded $4 million in grants to 16 affordable housing providers.

This round of funding is open to all nonprofit organizations providing support to older adults with low incomes residing in Maryland and Michigan. Grants will be awarded to organizations that either seek to scale supportive services and programs (e.g., social engagement, emotional well-being, skills training and physical, mental and financial health) or modifications to the built environment (e.g., accessibility, minor home repair and building safety).

Applications are due April 14 and awards will be announced in the summer.
