Tilskudd til frivillige og ideelle organisasjoner – sosial- og helsefremmende aktiviteter for hjemmeboende eldre

This grant program from Drammen municipality supports voluntary and nonprofit organizations working to improve quality of life, social inclusion, and active community participation for elderly residents living at home in Drammen. The program aims to stimulate voluntary efforts and support organizations in their work to counteract inactivity and loneliness among elderly residents. Funding is available for operational support (for running organizations or units within organizations) and project grants for time-limited initiatives. In 2026, the program specifically prioritizes initiatives that address loneliness and inactivity among elderly residents at home, such as relative centers, low-threshold meeting places for people with dementia, and general low-threshold meeting places for the elderly. Grants are awarded for one year at a time, with the total budget determined annually by the municipal council.
