Your Age-friendly Fund questions answered.
We've put together a new set of FAQs answering some of the most common questions we receive about the Age-friendly Fund and how to apply for it.
"We get a lot of queries from organisations that have a great idea but aren't sure whether it's the kind of project we're looking for," says Programme Lead Tessa Madden, Office for Seniors.
“We’re interested in a really wide range of projects. In the past we’ve funded everything from dementia-friendly movie sessions to intergenerational cooking projects, art sessions for older caregivers, and transport pilots for rural communities.”
Tessa says the FAQs answer some of the most common questions we receive and explain what makes a good Age-friendly Fund project. They're a great place to start if you're thinking about applying.
"If you're still unsure, get in touch,” she says. “We're happy to talk through your idea before you apply."
The Age-friendly Fund supports councils, community organisations, and non-profit organisations to take practical steps towards becoming more age-friendly and creating positive outcomes for older people.
