Sarah Ralston Foundation

Innovative Project Support

Who can apply: Organizations and programs must align with the Foundation’s mission to support and enhance the quality of life of vulnerable and underserved older adults residing in Philadelphia County. Organizations may be based outside Philadelphia County if they provide services in Philadelphia County, but grants are restricted to Philadelphia County-based programs/projects. Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) public charities, fiscally sponsored organizations or programs, supporting organizations, and other 501(c) organizations within legal limits. There is no operating budget limit for innovative project funding. Projects must include an implementation phase within the grant cycle and cannot be solely focused on planning. The Foundation does not fund programs serving older adults in institutional settings, individuals, for-profit entities, insurance-paid services, or direct endowment support outside of capital campaigns or new construction-related expenses.
