People in Later Life and Their Carers Funding Programme

The Rayne Foundation has been funding organisations supporting care for people in later life since 1962. This programme focuses on projects and organisations reimagining community provision for people drawing on care in later life. The Foundation prioritises work that is driven by collaboration in a particular place, connects the dots of care provision for people in later life and their carers, increases agency and voice of people in later life and their carers, and embeds creativity and the arts in care delivery. The Foundation seeks innovative projects that approach issues differently, with potential for wider application beyond the immediate grant. Applicants must demonstrate match-funding contributions and a commitment to capturing and sharing learnings with others. The programme values outward-facing, networked organisations that actively seek collaboration to maximise learning and impact.
