About Home Instead Charities
Home Instead Charities focuses almost exclusively on services for older adults, funding community-based senior centers, village/neighborhood aging-in-place programs, dementia-friendly initiatives, and volunteer transportation and caregiver support. Grants are directed to local nonprofits, faith-based senior ministries, and a few health organizations and academic programs (notably a gerontology scholarship at the University of Nebraska–Omaha), indicating a practical, service-delivery orientation rather than policy or research. The foundation favors repeat, place-based partners and programs that directly enable independent living for seniors.
