Elder Justice Innovation Grants FY2025

The Elder Justice Innovation Grants FY2025, issued by the Administration for Community Living, aim to advance knowledge and develop new strategies for elder justice and the prevention of adult maltreatment. This funding opportunity will provide up to eight cooperative agreements of $250,000 to $500,000 each for 36-month projects focusing on reducing adult maltreatment, preserving individual autonomy, and restoring well-being for affected individuals. The program encourages proposals that prevent maltreatment or improve outcomes through evidence-based interventions and adult protective services (APS) initiatives. Eligible applicants include various entities, with a cost-sharing requirement permitted but not mandatory. The application process involves submission through Grants.gov, including a narrative detailing project relevance, goals, stakeholder involvement, and measurable outcomes. Grantees are required to produce evaluation reports and a final project impact report. The anticipated announcement of awarded grants is set for September 30, 2025. The program highlights the need to address the growing issue of adult maltreatment through innovative approaches while complying with federal regulations and ensuring improved intervention practices across communities.
