GIA creates opportunities for funders to to act - collaboratively and individually - for a better later life. Together, we advance priorities that build more age-integrated communities, address ageism, reduce disparities, and advance more equitable philanthropic practice.
Currrent GIA Priorities
Champion Fund
The Champion Fund seeks to galvanize support from the philanthropic community for the reauthorization of the Older Americans Act (OAA). GIA partnered with Grantmakers In Health (GIH) to launch the Champion Fund, an 18-month collaboration that includes a political landscape analysis, multiple convenings and communications, and an advocacy-focused resource for funders, partner organizations, and grantees.
