OVERVIEW: The Old Ladies Home Association supports health, medical care, hospice, aging, nursing homes and elderly care in Mississippi.
IP TAKE: Although this funder maintains a low public profile, it is a top human services grantmaker in Mississippi and a big giver in the state, albeit for a very small handful of pre-selected organizations engaged. As an issue-specific funder, it is laser-focused on funding for elderly and disabled populations in the state, but even like-minded grassroots grantseekers may find difficulty getting a foot in the door here. This funder does not accept unsolicited applications, preferring a proactive approach to grantmaking. However, grantseekers are welcome to contact this organization with questions.
PROFILE: Established around 1948, the Old Ladies Home Association (OLHA) is a private foundation based in Ridgeland, Mississippi. OLHA funds Mississippi efforts for health, medical care, hospice, nursing homes and elderly care.
Grants for Aging and Faith-based Causes
The Old Ladies Home Association does not have a website to guide grantseekers. However, past tax records indicate that recent grantmaking centers on the needs of senior living in Mississippi who are in need of medical rehabilitation, nursing home care and hospice care.
- Mississippi medical centers, retirement homes and medical foundations receive OLHA support, including the Mississippi Methodist Hospital Rehabilitation Center, Hospice Ministries, and the Home Place of Madison.
- Additionally, OLHA has made grants to organizations supporting the developmentally disabled, like The Mustard Seed, Inc.
- In the past few years, tax records show that OLHA has supported local Presbyterian churches in their missions, but the dollar totals are extremely small.
