Samhita-CGF Catalytic Grant for Elderly Care

Samhita-CGF invites EOIs from organizations developing innovative, community-rooted models to improve the lives of older people across India.

India is facing a significant demographic shift, with its population ageing at an unprecedented rate. Projections indicate that by 2050, more than one in five Indians will be aged 60 or above. Recognizing the immense potential and unique challenges this presents, Samhita-CGF is launching a Catalytic Grant Opportunity, inviting Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from dedicated organizations. This initiative focuses on identifying and supporting innovative, community-rooted models designed to profoundly improve the lives of older people (aged 60 and above) across India, with a critical emphasis on reaching rural, tribal, and underserved communities. The program's core philosophy is to foster an environment where older individuals are viewed and supported as active contributors to their communities, rather than solely as recipients of care. Through multi-year catalytic grant funding, Samhita-CGF aims to empower organizations to implement sustainable and scalable solutions that address various facets of healthy and dignified ageing. This includes promoting productive engagement, creating livelihood opportunities, strengthening institutional support, and advancing specialized care for age-related health conditions.
