They should also have the capacity to deliver services on a regional basis and a recognized history of serving economically marginalized older people, with an emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion. The grant has an award ceiling of $200,000 and an award floor of $175,000. The estimated total program funding is $1,200,000, and there are expected to be 6 awards.
