Description
Elderly Funds, administered by Community Foundation Serving Western Virginia, support organizations addressing the broad needs of elderly people in the community. The funds focus on the aging population in the cities of Roanoke and Salem and the counties of Botetourt, Craig, Franklin, and Roanoke. Their purpose encompasses older residents’ needs rather than a single prescribed service or project type.
The funds are offered through the foundation’s Winter Grant Cycle. This cycle brings together several funds with distinct purposes and geographic criteria, with a separate application required for each fund. Elderly Funds provide the cycle’s dedicated focus on supporting older people.
