About The Grant
RRF Foundation for Aging focuses on improving the quality of life for older people. To strengthen the Foundation’s impact, RRF has established Priority Areas.
These Priority Areas are specific topics in aging that will be given higher priority within the Foundation’s grantmaking program.
Caregiving
Ensuring that caregivers are informed, well-trained, and supported while providing care to older people in community settings.
Economic Security in Later Life
Valuing the dignity of older people through efforts that ensure and protect their economic security and well-being.
Housing
Promoting efforts that make housing more affordable and provide coordinated services that enable older people to live safely in community settings.
Social & Intergenerational Connectedness
Strengthening social bonds through efforts that promote meaningful connections, including those that span generations.
Organizational Capacity Building
Improve management and governance of organizations in Illinois.
Other Promising Projects
While Priority Areas reflect RRF’s primary funding interests, we remain open to supporting other opportunistic aging projects (on a selective basis).
Requirements
RRF provides funding to nonprofit organizations that are tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code as Public Charities; OR nonprofit organizations that are not required to have a 501(c)(3) designation, such as state-funded universities and Area Agencies on Aging.
Organizations whose 501(c)(3) status is pending may apply for a grant from RRF through a fiscal agent that is also a nonprofit organization.
