The Pratt-Stanton Manor Funds, supported by the Greater New Orleans Foundation (GNOF), aim to empower older adults to lead dignified, meaningful, and independent lives. This grant program aligns with GNOF's mission to invest in the well-being of the community, particularly in addressing critical social issues such as the increasing number of older adults living below the poverty line and declining funding for senior services. The program recognizes the importance of both reversing this trend and actively supporting the independent living and dignity of older individuals. The primary beneficiaries of this grant are older adults, especially those living below the region's median income level and the most frail and dysfunctional older adults who are striving to live independently. The impact goals are to provide essential services and supports, promote economic security, and improve the general quality of life for this vulnerable population. Pratt-Stanton Manor's legacy of providing high-quality services and fostering a happy and healthy environment for residents serves as a guiding principle for the types of initiatives the GNOF seeks to support. The grant program prioritizes organizations working in three key areas: serving older adults, particularly those with lower incomes; assisting the most frail and dysfunctional older adults living independently; and addressing fundamental needs such as food, housing, long-term care, daily living activities, overall quality of life, and delaying disability onset. Specific guidelines include support for informal caregiver support, services to prevent or delay hospitalization, and initiatives promoting economic security for older adults. Capital needs are also considered, focusing on housing rehabilitation and repair, and capital support for residential care and community-based facilities that offer a friendly, home-like setting. Expected outcomes include improved independent living for older adults, enhanced access to basic needs and support services, greater economic security, and a delay in the onset of disability. The GNOF's strategic priorities and theory of change are evident in its commitment to supporting organizations that directly impact the lives of older adults, fostering an environment where they can thrive, and addressing systemic issues through targeted funding. By focusing on these areas, the GNOF aims to create measurable positive changes in the lives of older adults in the Greater New Orleans region, continuing the work of Pratt-Stanton Manor in promoting dignity and independence.
