Pearl Manor Fund
The Pearl Manor Fund is distributed through grants for the specific purpose of providing assistance, comfort, care, and treatment for the elder population to include, but not limited to, the needs surrounding medical care, safe housing, nutrition, independent living, and transportation assistance.
The Pearl Manor Fund supports the efforts that benefit the elder residents of the Greater Manchester area. The area specifically includes the towns of Allenstown, Auburn, Bedford, Candia, Deerfield, Dunbarton, Goffstown, Hooksett, Manchester, and New Boston.
Grants are awarded on an annual basis (when funds are available) to support new or expanding projects/programs that implement solutions and address the critical and unmet needs of the elder community. Grants are typically made in the $10,000 to $25,000 range, although applications for grants for highly collaborative and impactful programs at higher levels will be considered.
PROGRAM PRIORITIES: When considering proposals, priority is given to funding activities that serve the Fund’s interests. The Pearl Manor Fund seeks to support programs that:
Meet the needs of the elder population, such as improved and expanded healthcare, affordable transportation, home maintenance, socialization, and/or nutrition;
- Promote independent living, self-care, and healthy lifestyle choices;
- Strengthen family support services through education and support to the caregiver;
- Provide realistic and measurable outcomes that address the identified need;
- Provide an evaluation plan that identifies data collection methods;
- Detail the applicant’s capacity to implement the project;
- Identify other programs that address the needs for the funds requested;
- Involve collaboration with other agencies, when possible.
