Ending Ageism

We want a world where people are valued and respected regardless of their age. But we need to end age-related stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination directed toward others and ourselves. Doing so will eliminate the barriers that can result from age-based bias and discrimination. We seek to fund projects such as:

• Expanding research and data collection to include older adults
• Increasing social awareness of ageism, such as with efforts to include age diversity in media
• Age-inclusive workforce or human resources training
• Age-friendly community initiatives, including intergenerational efforts
• Policy and advocacy efforts for legal protections against age-related bias

Advancing Digital Equity

Technology is a basic need. It must be accessible and affordable for all older adults and the organizations that serve them. If we invest in ensuring we all have equal access to innovative technology now, we will create technology that improves how we age in the future. We seek to fund projects such as:

• Efforts that increase access to technology
• Programs that promote age-inclusive design and aging in place technologies
• AI for social impact programs benefitting older adults
• Policy and advocacy efforts to increase affordable internet access
• Digital literacy programs, such as those that facilitate digital access to financial resources

Supporting Aging in place

As we age we want the resources, economic freedom and peace of mind to live where we feel most comfortable – whether that means at home or in our community. We will support services and systems that allows all of us to maintain autonomy and connections to our community as we age. We seek to fund projects such as:

• Affordable housing or homelessness prevention programs
• Creative solutions for in-home wrap-around services
• Caregiver or direct care workforce support and services
• Access to public benefits assistance, including financial literacy programs
• Legal assistance services, including fraud prevention and education
