The Retirement Research Foundation is pleased to announce the continuation of its Accessible Faith Grant Program in 2010. Through the Accessible Faith Grant Program, the Foundation makes funds available to Chicago area houses of worship for accessibility improvements to their facilities. Such improvements should allow increased participation of older adults in the programs, services, and activities that occur in the facilities.
A total of $300,000 in Accessible Faith Grants will be available from the Foundation in 2010. The maximum grant amount is $30,000. Grants will be awarded for up to 50% of a project's total cost. Applications must be received at the Foundation office or postmarked by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, June 25, 2010. This is the last deadline remaining for this year. Grant award notifications will be made approximately five months after the deadline date with funding available one month after notification.
