Age Strong Commission Rolling Grant Opportunity Through the Age Strong Rolling Grants, Mayor Michelle Wu and the City of Boston’s Age Strong Commission seek to fund projects that are small in scale to support organizations serving Boston’s older adults.

This grant program provides essential financial assistance to help small non-profit and community groups overcome the unexpected costs that often arise related to day-to-day and programming expenses. The Age Strong Rolling Grants are designed to ensure that financial barriers do not stand in the way of an organization’s ability to meet the needs of older adult programs throughout the year.

This grant program builds on Mayor Michelle Wu’s commitment to increasing social connection opportunities for older adults and building a Boston that is a home for everyone. Grant recipients will receive funding of up to $2,500 to address small-scale programming needs. Below, you will find information about the grant’s intent, application process, and more.
