IRCF Awards Senior Resource Association $50,000

Established in 1974, Senior Resource Association (SRA) provides services and programs designed to promote an active, healthy, and independent lifestyle for older adults. Indian River Community Foundation recently awarded SRA $50,000 for the In-Home Services Program from the Community Enrichment Fund.

SRA’s in-home supportive services help enable elderly residents to continue living in their own homes as long as safely possible. The goal of this program is to promote dignity and independence while helping seniors delay or avoid being forced to seek out-of-home care through assisted living or skilled nursing facilities. The services provided by this program include household chores, personal care assistance, companionship, and in-home respite. SRA believes earlier intervention with these services offers the highest prospect of stabilizing seniors’ health and wellbeing, thereby delaying or even eliminating the possibility that they will require long-term care.

Indian River Community Foundation’s discretionary grantmaking is aligned with a vision of a more healthy, prosperous, and generous Indian River County community. Grantmaking priorities are informed by the findings of the most recent community needs assessment and the most current data and information collected on Indian River Indicators. 

IRCF is holding informational sessions for nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations serving Indian River County who are interested in applying for a competitive grant. If interested, please call 772.492.1407 or email Brooke Sauserman to reserve your spot. Please read our Guidelines before registering.
