Adult Protective Services Funding Opportunity

AgeLinc of Lincolnland is soliciting applications from non-profit and local government organizations qualified to receive Federal/State of Illinois financial assistance grants. These funds provide services for older adults (age 60+) as authorized under the Older Americans Act of 1965 (Public Law 89-73) in Cass, Christian, Greene, Jersey, Logan, Macoupin, Menard, Montgomery, Morgan, Sangamon, and Scott counties.

The funding period is from June 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026 with an option to extend the contract for an additional two years.

Fundable services include:  Adult Protective Services (APS)

APS is a social services program to support older adults and adults with disabilities experiencing abuse, neglect, self-neglect, or financial exploitation. APS programs investigate reports of maltreatment; provide support; case-management; and connections to a variety of protective, emergency, and support services.

Applicants must select at least one (1) county in which to provide services. The service provider must adhere to the Illinois Department on Aging’s Adult Protective Services Standards and Procedures and AgeGuide’s General Service Requirements. For further information about grant requirements and application process, see the following section under General Public information. 

Successful applicants must comply with all applicable pre-qualification requirements. These include but are not limited to: provide Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and System for Award Management (SAM) numbers, demonstrate acceptable fiscal management/stability (including the ability to meet matching requirements), and show evidence of good standing with the Secretary of State with no Debarred/Suspended/Stop Payment/Excluded Parties listings.
