Michigan Health Endowment Fund Approves 27 New Healthy Aging Grants Totaling $9.2 Million; 2026 Program Reaches 33 Projects and Just Under $10 Million
The Board of Directors of the Michigan Health Endowment Fund approved 27 new Healthy Aging grants totaling $9.2 million on November 5, supporting the health, well-being and independence of older adults across Michigan. The fund said the grants support work around four strategic areas: access to care, caregiving, elder justice, and support for Michigan residents living with dementia.
Together with more than $770,000 invested in six projects earlier this year, the fund's Healthy Aging grantmaking in 2026 totaled just under $10 million across 33 projects. Grants in this round include $750,000 to Thunder Bay Community Health Service for an Integrated Healthy Aging and Geriatric Service Line, $300,000 to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center to plan a holistic approach to identifying, engaging and supporting care partners in clinical settings, and $132,500 to the Association for the Blind & Visually Impaired for vision rehabilitation assistive technology for older adults.
The fund said the Healthy Aging program, now a decade old, reflects its commitment that all people in the state should have opportunities and support to age well. A complete list of the latest grants is published on the fund's website.
