RRF Foundation for Aging

Important Dates
Letter of Inquiry (required) Due: February 5, 2026. Selected Applicants will be invited to submit a full proposal.

The foundation invites applications for its grantmaking program, which aims to improve the quality of life for older people. One priority area for the RRF is:

Caregiving: Ensuring that all care partners are informed, well-trained, and supported while caring for older people in community settings. Read more.

Within the priority areas, RRF will continue to award grants involving advocacy, direct service (Illinois), training and education, and research. While the priority areas reflect RRF’s primary funding interests, the foundation remains open to supporting other opportunistic aging projects (on a selective basis).
