Description
The Stiefvater Senior Endowment Grant Program is administered by North Valley Community Foundation through the Emil and Leonora Stiefvater Senior Endowment. It provides financial and infrastructure support to build the capacity of nonprofit organizations serving older adults and addressing their emotional, physical, and/or spiritual needs.
The program strongly prioritizes proposals that provide seniors with basic needs, including food, shelter, and access to medical care. Grants are intended to leverage existing funds and income streams to complete or enhance existing projects. Grant seekers are invited to apply to begin a conversation with the funder about seniors’ needs in their communities.
