AARP Mentor Up Grant opportunity

There is still time to participate in the Mentor Up grant competition!

Through the Mentor Up program, AARP Foundation is looking to fund innovative, exciting and impactful intergenerational interventions that engage youth volunteers in "reverse mentoring" or service activities designed to foster positive intergenerational interactions that will help reduce the negative effects of social isolation faced by vulnerable individuals over 50. Specifically, we're seeking interventions that are evidence or outcomes based and operate at a local, regional or national level that focus on the following areas:

* Hunger

* Housing

* Health and wellness

* Transportation

* Income

* Social Connection

Mentor Up encourages organization's large and small to apply for funding that can range from $25,000 - $150,000. Funding amounts awarded to grantees will be relative to an organization's capacity and expected outcomes.

We're strongly encouraging eligible organizations to learn more and apply online by the November 13th 2015 deadline.
