Description
The Healthy Youth and Healthy Seniors Endowment supports programs and projects focused on improving the health of young people, seniors, or both. Administered by the Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation, it is offered through the Foundation’s Fall Grants program under Health & Human Services. The health of these two age groups is the shared priority for both program support and project work.
The Foundation also seeks to understand the outcomes of funded work. Grant partners are invited to submit a final report within a year of receiving an award, helping the Foundation learn about program and project outcomes and share successes with supporters, community partners, and the general public.
