Current and Ongoing Grant Opportunities
From the DSAAPD In-Box
From time to time, the Division of Services for Aging and Adults with Physical Disabilities (DSAAPD) receives information about funding for aging and/or disabilities related services from various organizations such as foundations, federal government agencies, and others.
DSAAPD would like agencies that provide services for older persons and persons with physical disabilities in Delaware to be aware of such opportunities, and, when possible, to take advantage of these additional resources.
We will post information about these funding opportunities as they become available. (Please note that this page does not represent a comprehensive list of funding resources for agencies in the state. For more information about researching sources, see the Where to look for grants section of this site.)
If you have questions about any of the information on this page, feel free to contact us.
