The Victoria Lifeline Health Promotion Grants

Victoria Lifeline is celebrating over 30 years of helping people remain safe and independent in their own homes. The Victoria Lifeline Grant Program honours our commitment to the well-being of rural Manitobans by providing financial support for projects that create or enhance opportunities for healthy living among older adults. Grant funds are awarded to organizations serving primarily older adults to purchase equipment and to support activities or programs that promote health and independence. A total of $5,000 is available and funds will be dispersed and awarded based on the evaluation criteria.

The World Health Organization defines health promotion as, "the process of enabling people to increase control over their own health. It covers a wide range of social and environmental interventions that are designed to benefit and protect people’s health." Victoria Lifeline strives to create an inclusive grant program and encourages applications from a diverse group of organizations.

Please read through the grant guidelines before submitting your application. If you have any questions, please contact Communications Manager Krystal Stokes at (204) 956-6779 or email [email protected]

Please note that the application deadline has been extended to June 30th, 2020. Please be advised that late submissions will not be accepted.

Victoria Lifeline will contact the successful applicants via a letter, phone call or email by May 30, 2020. Please ensure you take this into consideration for any date-sensitive projects before submitting your application.
