Canadian Medical Association (CMA) is accepting applications for its program entitled “Healthy Canadians Grants” to support innovative, grassroots health initiatives.
These Grants are designed to provide support for community-run initiatives that:
- improve the quality of life for patients and vulnerable populations living in those communities; and
- have a positive impact on the community as a whole and the lives of Canadians.
The theme for 2018 is seniors’ wellness. With these grants, they’re aiming to make a tangible difference in the lives of seniors, their families, and the physicians who care for them.
Types of Initiatives
- Exercise programs geared toward seniors
- Programs to help seniors remain in their homes (e.g., meal preparation, cleaning services, assistance with shopping and other chores)
- Social programs aimed at getting seniors active in the community (e.g., clubs and social outings)
- Transportation programs
- Friendly visits for socially isolated seniors
- Programs in seniors’ residences and nursing homes (e.g., companion animal visits)
- Respite programs for families caring for seniors (e.g., day programs for seniors with dementia)
Eligibility Criteria
- Applicants must be a registered charity in Canada and all applications must be accompanied by a letter of support from a local physician endorsing the proposal.
- The application should demonstrate how the initiative will make a tangible difference in the community.
