The Age-Friendly Grants Program aims to strengthen the capacity of New Jersey communities by providing funding opportunities to local government and nonprofit organizations to assess, plan, and develop local age-friendly initiatives that support the health and wellbeing of older adults. The program is designed to advance efforts that result in tangible and sustainable transformation of policies, systems, and environmental conditions. This Request for Proposals (RFP) is issued by DoAS and seeks bidders to provide the services described in this RFP beginning November 1, 2025 and ending on June 30, 2026. Contingent upon available appropriations, and with funding and oversight provided by DoAS and its contracted partners, grantees will undertake initiatives through the Age-Friendly Community project, which promotes public policies that improve the health, wellbeing, satisfaction, and quality of life for all residents by addressing the eight age-friendly domains of livability: • Outdoor spaces and buildings • Transportation • Housing • Social participation • Respect and social inclusion • Civic participation and employment • Communication and information • Community support and health services
