Grant Overview

Ontario is home to a rapidly aging population, with over 2.5 million seniors living in the province.

The grant funding available for this initiative aims to support digital literacy programs for seniors.

What are the target outcomes for this funding? The grant funding will support partnerships between universities and senior centers to enhance digital literacy among elderly populations. The target outcomes include improved social connectivity and access to vital services for seniors. Successful applicants will be required to demonstrate a clear understanding of the province's senior population and develop a comprehensive plan for addressing their digital literacy needs.
