The Call for Proposals for the 2018-2019 New Horizons for Seniors Program –
Community‑based Projects Component and Small grants Initiative Pilot -
has been launched and will be open from May 7 to June 15, 2018
 
The New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP) supports projects that are designed by and for seniors. It is designed to help seniors improve the quality of life in their communities by participating in social activities and leading active lives. Eligible applicants may receive up to $25,000 in the form of a grant under the Community-based Projects Component and up to $5,000 in the form of a grant under the Small grants Initiative Pilot. Projects must address one or more of the NHSP Objectives:
 
  1. promoting volunteerism among seniors and other generations;
  2. engaging seniors in the community through mentoring of others;
  3. expanding awareness of elder abuse, including financial abuse;
  4. supporting social participation and inclusion of seniors;
  5. providing capital assistance for new and existing community projects and/or programs for seniors.
NEW – National Level Priorities
 
The Department also has introduced the following three national-level priorities inspired by the desire to solicit applications designed by seniors, for seniors:
 
  1. Projects that would benefit vulnerable seniors populations;
  2. Projects focusing on the diversity of Canada’s seniors; and,
  3. Projects that would use volunteerism to increase an organization’s capacity.
 
NEW PILOT – Small grants Initiative
 
This year, NHSP is testing new ways to expand support to seniors organizations that have projects for their vulnerable population including those that have not received funding in the last five years (since 2012-2013 Call for proposals). These organizations can apply for the small grants up to $5,000 per project or for the Community-based funding of up to $25,000 (but not for both). In the context of Small grants Initiative, priority will be given to projects for seniors and meet at least one of the three national priorities.
 
Under the Small grants Initiative, three sub-stream proposed:
 
  1. IT equipment upgrade: to purchase computers or tablets;
  2. Capital assets for current or new activities; and,
  3. Projects that increase volunteerism, mentoring, and social inclusion.
