--- ## Description The Pratt-Stanton Manor Fund, operated by the Greater New Orleans Foundation, provides grants to nonprofit organizations working to help older adults in the Greater New Orleans region live independently, with dignity and meaning. The fund continues the legacy of the Pratt-Stanton Manor by supporting both programmatic and capital projects that address the most basic needs of seniors—especially those who are low-income or frail and living independently. Areas of support include food, housing, long-term care, daily living activities, quality of life improvements, and delaying the onset of disability. Capital grants may fund housing rehabilitation, home modifications, and development of community facilities that foster non-institutional, supportive environments for seniors. --- ## Due Dates - June 15, 2013: Full application deadline - July 16, 2018: Application deadline - July 15, 2019: Application deadline _All dates are based on historical cycles; check the [program page](https://www.gnof.org/program/pratt-stanton-manor-fund/) for updates._ --- ## Funding Amount - Typical grant size: Up to $40,000 per award. - Larger grants may be recommended by the advisory committee in special circumstances. - Grants are awarded annually. - Both programmatic and capital requests are considered. --- ## Eligibility - Applicants must be nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations serving the Greater New Orleans region. - Organizations not tax-exempt may apply if they have a fiscal sponsor with 501(c)(3) status. - Priority is given to organizations that: - Serve older adults below the region’s median income level. - Serve frail, independently living older adults. - Address basic needs (food, housing, long-term care, daily living, quality of life, delaying disability). - The fund generally does **not** support ongoing operational expenses of established nonprofits. --- ## Application Process - Applications must be submitted electronically via the Foundation’s [online portal](https://www.grantinterface.com/Common/LogOn.aspx?eqs=3QVk173peTkdf68KZmYgsg2). - Required narrative sections: - Organization history, mission, recent accomplishments, and budget. - Program description, target population, outreach, strategies, anticipated impact, collaborators. - Evaluation plan, criteria for success, outputs/outcomes, sustainability. - Required attachments: - Current and prior year operating budgets. - Most recent audited financial statements. - Most recent IRS Form 990. - Program budget and narrative, including other funding sources. - Board of directors list. - One-paragraph resumes for key staff. - Proposals not submitted electronically may not be considered. - Final programmatic and financial reports are required if funded. --- ## Additional Information - Grants may support both direct services and capital projects (e.g., home repairs, facility improvements). - The program is highly competitive and prioritizes sustainability and measurable impact. - Previous grantees include organizations providing meals, home modifications, caregiver support, and health promotion for seniors. --- ## External Links - [Pratt-Stanton Manor Fund program page](https://www.gnof.org/program/pratt-stanton-manor-fund/) - [2019 Fund Guidelines (PDF)](https://www.gnof.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Pratt-Stanton-Manor-Fund-Guidelines-2019.pdf) - [Greater New Orleans Foundation homepage](https://www.gnof.org) - [Application portal](https://www.grantinterface.com/Common/LogOn.aspx?eqs=3QVk173peTkdf68KZmYgsg2) --- ## Contact Information | Contact Type | Details | |-------------------|------------------------------------------------------| | Phone | 504-598-4663 | | Online Contact | [Contact Form](https://www.gnof.org/contact-us/) | | Address | 919 St. Charles Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70130 |
