Connecting Seniors Grant Program 2025 | NSW Government Connecting Seniors Grant Program 2025 The Grant Program aims to support older people to connect with others and address the challenges that contribute to isolation for older people. The 2025 Grant Program aims to build social connections and reduce isolation for older people, including those aged 65 years and over, or 50 years and over for Aboriginal people.
The objectives of the Connecting Seniors grant program are to: • provide meaningful and lasting social connections that can be maintained beyond the program • help older people connect with each other through small group activities held in person throughout the year to build and maintain social connections (rather than a one-off activity) • enable older people to develop lasting quality relationships.
• engage new people, particularly harder-to-reach older people • help older people and young people connect through intergenerational projects. This program is funded and administered by Department of Communities and Justice.

The Justice Department's timeline put September 2026 as the month it starts executing the Bureau of Justice Grants consolidation, folding OJP, COPS, and OVW into one component under a Senate-confirmed Assistant Attorney General.

Here is what changes for applicants, what the legal fight does not change, and how to plan a FY2027 pipeline through it.
Read articleOn June 8, HHS and GSA launched a new Grants Management Special Item Number — SIN 518210GM — creating a government-wide buying lane for modern, standards-compliant grants software tied to more than $1.2 trillion in annual awards. It reads like procurement plumbing. For grantees, govtech vendors, and the future of grant data interoperability, it is anything but.
Read articleOn June 11, 2026, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ruled that the EPA's February 2025 termination of the $2.8 billion Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grant Program — created by Section 60201 of the Inflation Reduction Act — was arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful. The ruling voids the termination but does not order the EPA to resume the program, leaving the September 30, 2026 statutory deadline as the binding constraint.
