About nursing home grants
Nursing home grants fund resident quality-of-life improvements, staff training, culture-change initiatives, and safety projects in long-term care settings. A key federal-state source is the CMS Civil Money Penalty Reinvestment Program, which redirects penalties collected from noncompliant facilities into projects that benefit residents, administered through state agencies. Aging-focused foundations and state health departments provide additional funding for long-term care improvement.

Of 48 open grants, 1 accept applications on a rolling basis, 3 run on a stated cycle (such as annual or quarterly) without a published date, and 44 don't publish a deadline, so check the funder's site.
What grants are available for nursing homes?
Available grants generally fund resident-centered improvements rather than routine operating costs, including staff training, culture-change and quality-of-life initiatives, resident and family councils, care transitions, and safety projects. Much of this funding flows through state programs that distribute reinvested federal penalty dollars. Nonprofits, facilities, academic institutions, and tribal organizations can often apply, depending on the program.
Who funds nursing home and long-term care programs?
The CMS Civil Money Penalty Reinvestment Program is a major source, returning a portion of penalties collected from nursing homes to states, which then award grants for resident-benefit projects. State health and aging agencies administer these funds and may add their own long-term care grants. Aging- and health-focused foundations support additional quality, dignity, and workforce initiatives in long-term care.
How can a facility or nonprofit apply for these funds?
Check your state health or aging agency's website for current Civil Money Penalty reinvestment funding opportunities, since these grants are administered at the state level with their own cycles and rules. Frame projects around measurable benefits to residents' quality of care or quality of life, which is the core requirement. Eligible applicants often include facilities, nonprofits, and academic partners, so consider collaborating to strengthen a proposal.
