The matching grants range from $50,000 for current guardianship programs to $38,500 for new and developing programs.

Grants were also awarded to the following programs:

Under the Supreme Court's Division of State Court Administration, the Adult Guardianship Office was established in 2013 to serve as a resource for courts and the public on issues related to adult guardianship as well as to administer grants to increase the number of volunteer-based guardianship programs. The Adult Guardianship Office is funded by the Indiana General Assembly.

A second round of grant applications for new and developing programs is due December 30, 2015. More information can be found at http://courts.in.gov/admin/3179.htm.
