Project Grant 24SCDMT002

This $350,009 Project Grant award from the Corporation for National and Community Service under the AmeriCorps Seniors Senior Companion Program (CFDA 94.016) provides funding to Action For Eastern Montana, Inc. to engage volunteers aged 55 and older in delivering critical support services to homebound seniors and individuals with disabilities in Montana. The program focuses on enabling these vulnerable populations to remain independent in their homes and communities by offering companionship, transportation assistance, respite care, and light chores. This award, effective July 1, 2024, includes an additional $2,500 in one-time funding for volunteer training-related travel expenses. As a sub-recipient, Action For Eastern Montana will leverage this federal grant to coordinate volunteers and deliver services that address social isolation and maintain the quality of life for seniors and individuals with disabilities in the region.
