The Archstone Foundation, a private nonprofit grantmaking foundation with a mission to prepare society for an aging population, has announced the release of a new funding opportunity under its responsive grantmaking program.

The Supportive Communities for Aging Request for Proposals is open to eligible organizations in Southern California (San Luis Obispo County east to Kern County and all areas south to the U.S./Mexico border). The program’s goal is to support and enhance the integration of aging services that increase the quality of life for those age 65 and older living independently in the community. The foundation seeks innovative ideas that are community-driven, leverage existing services, and establish and/or form partnerships for collaboration across systems.

Only nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations in Southern California are eligible to apply. The foundation will award up to a total of $500,000 in grants through the Supportive Communities for Aging RFP process. The foundation seeks to fund several community partnerships for a twelve-month period beginning on July 1, 2010.

Visit the Archstone Foundation Web site for complete program and application information.
