The Whitehorse Intergenerational Grants support activities that foster connections between generations, celebrate the valuable contribution of older people, and improve the health and wellbeing of older people in our community.

The 2023 Whitehorse Intergenerational Grant Program is now open. Applications for the 2024 Grants Program close at 11pm on Sunday 7 April 2024.
