2024 stipends for Age-Friendly participants
Cross-sector partnership stipend
The application period for a 2024 cross-sector partnership stipend has ended.
These stipends are intended to help organizations build new cross-sector partnerships with community-based organizations. These partnerships should focus on addressing older adults’ health-related social needs (e.g., access to care, health literacy, language access, food insecurity, social isolation, transportation, housing, etc.).
Need help identifying or engaging community partners? Check out AHEI’s Coalition Building Toolkit! This tool will help your team define your impact area, establish partnerships, set shared priorities and sustain your efforts.
Benefits of participation
- Enhance the quality of life of older adults. By fostering cross-sector collaboration, you directly improve the quality of life of older adults in your community.
- Get ready for the 1115 waiver. New York’s 1115 Medicaid waiver includes a strong emphasis on community partnerships. Use this stipend to start building relationships with your local CBOs so you are ready to be a productive partner in transforming care for the most vulnerable New Yorkers.
- Strengthen future grant applications. These stipend projects can help you build relationships and develop pilot programs that can be leveraged when seeking future grant funding.
- Earn recognition. HANYS shares success stories with our members and policymakers. Your cross-sector partnership could be featured in a future HANYS’ Member Spotlight.
