GRANTS ADDRESSING BASIC NEEDS OF LOW-INCOME OLDER ADULTS

Field Hall Foundation in Cortlandt, New York, supports programs and projects that improve the lives of older adults and caregivers in Dutchess, Putnam and Westchester counties, New York.  Priority is given to proposals focused on the basic needs of low-income older adults (60+ years) and their unpaid caregivers.

The Foundation awards one-year small (up to $15,000) and full-sized grants. Visit the Foundation’s website, fieldhallfoundation.org, for a Letter of Inquiry form for full-grant requests, as well as guidelines and eligibility requirements.

Previous grant recipients are eligible to submit another Letter of Inquiry after at least one year has passed since receiving a grant, and a final report for that grant has been submitted to and accepted by the Foundation.  It is important to note that, because of the large number of organizations the Foundation supports, previous grantees are generally not considered for another grant until approximately two years after receiving a grant.

Contact Patti Lavan Horvath, program officer, for more information or to discuss a possible proposal:  phorvath@fieldhallfdn.org or 914-813-9103.
