The Beulah S. Mays Charitable Endowment, administered by the Blue Grass Community Foundation, offers grants to nonprofit organizations dedicated to serving older adults in Central and Eastern Kentucky. This grant program aligns directly with the Community Foundation's mission to support individuals facing the challenges of aging and age-related diseases. The foundation's strategic priority is to address critical needs within the aging community, particularly those related to dementia and other age-related issues. The primary target beneficiaries of this grant are older adults in Central and Eastern Kentucky, with a special focus on those suffering from dementia-related diseases and their caregivers. Additionally, the program aims to benefit underserved populations within this demographic, including low-income individuals and people of color. The impact goal is to provide direct support and services that improve the quality of life for these vulnerable populations. The grant program prioritizes organizations whose primary mission is focused on the aging community, dementia, and other age-related issues. Special consideration is given to initiatives that address the needs of older adults with dementia and their caregivers, as well as services for underserved populations. The expected outcomes include enhanced services for older adults, particularly in areas impacted by dementia, and a reduction in disparities for low-income individuals and people of color within the aging community. Funding awards will range from $5,000 to $10,000, with the potential for renewal for an additional year, providing sustained support for effective programs. Eligible organizations must be 501(c)(3) nonprofits, have a fiscal sponsor, or be publicly supported entities, and must operate within specified Central and Eastern Kentucky counties. The foundation's theory of change posits that by investing in organizations directly serving these critical needs, it can foster healthier, more supported aging communities and address significant societal challenges associated with an aging population.
