GRANTS
Learn about powerful grantmaking opportunities from the Age-Friendly Minnesota Council.

The Age-Friendly Minnesota Council administers a competitive grants program, giving communities across the state a way to advance a variety of age-friendly efforts. They also work with a trusted network of organizations to support grantees and work on statewide efforts.
Projects have ranged from repurposing a former public-school building into a multigenerational community center, to purchasing an accessible van, to conducting a community needs assessment to help support age-friendly planning across various cultural groups.
Grantees span local governments, non-profit service providers, school districts, universities, businesses, foundations, and more.
