Grants
The program request must follow the Mission Statement of the Council on Senior Services...To promote the service and benefits of seniors in Northeast Indiana through a network of individuals and organizations providing some type of service to our maturing population.
A maximum total amount will be awarded annually via the COSS grant process. The amount requested and the annual maximum award per organization is not guaranteed. The awarded amount will be determined by the COSS Board of Directors.
The focus of each request should mirror the purposes of the Council on Senior Services. These purposes include providing education, information and advocating for seniors. These purposes are to be accomplished using a grassroots approach. Grant recipients are notified and checks are awarded at the November membership meeting.
In order to continue to qualify for subsequent grant awards, a written report evaluating the event will be required by the COSS Board of Directors by May 1st. There will also be an opportunity to provide an oral report to the general COSS membership at the May meeting.
Deadline for grant requests is October 1st.
To submit your grant request, please complete our grant application.
