Older Adults

Older Adults

Older adults are beloved members of families and communities and offer valuable life experience. Communities that support, respect, and integrate older adults reap social and economic rewards that benefit people of all ages.

GRANTMAKING FOCUS

  • Access to programs and services that allow older adults to age in place, such as practical supports, friendly visiting, and access to community services.
  • Access to family caregiver supports, such as home and respite care, support groups, and social connection.
  • Access to programs that support a sense of inclusion and belonging, such as community connectedness, civic engagement, and creative aging.
