The mission of the funder is to continue the Maison Hospitaliere's legacy of support by making grants to organizations serving women and their families, ensuring direct services to women through either general operating or program support.
The grant program by Pratt-Stanton Manor has a clear objective to support older adults in living independently and with dignity by leveraging available resources to organizations serving this demographic. With grants up to $40,000, potentially more in special circumstances, annually awarded, the program prioritizes efforts that: assist older adults living below median income levels, support the frailest and those living independently, and address basic needs critical for quality of life and delaying disability. Specific guidelines indicate funding for project or program needs including caregiver support, services to prevent hospitalization, and promoting economic security of older adults, as well as capital needs for housing rehabilitation, residential care, and community-based facilities development.
