Wolfson Foundation’s Older People Grant programme

The Wolfson Foundation’s Older People Grant programme supports UK registered charities and local authorities which provide care and services for older people, particularly if they have a neurodegenerative condition, such as Parkinson’s Disease, spinal muscular atrophy or Alzheimer’s, or are socially isolated.

Projects should be for a new building, refurbishment work or equipment that leads to one or more of the following aims:

• Improved financial stability of the organisation.
• Improved quality and range of services, and/or
  Increased access to services for new and existing users

Applying organisations should:

• Be a registered charity or a local authority, and, if applicable
• Have at least a ‘Good’ rating from a regulator such as the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

The minimum grant available is £25,000. Grant awards are normally in the range of £40,000 – £75,000. Please note that there is a matched funding requirement for projects with a total cost of over £50,000.
