The Only Meeting Dedicated to Aging and Philanthropy
The GIA Annual Conference is the premier source of information, inspiration, and connection for any funder interested in aging-related issues and investments. Building on more than 40 years of convening experience, this event brings together funders of all types and sizes: large and small; local, regional, national, and international; public and private. Our program is engaging, actionable, and relevant to people in many different roles, including staff, trustees, directors, consultants, and donors.
Watch some of the highlights from our 2023 conference in Austin, Texas, where we turned up the volume on aging and philanthropy.
Join us in Detroit - October 15-18, 2024
We’re gearing up for our 2024 Annual Conference! Join us in Detroit, Michigan—the Motor City and birthplace of the Motown Sound—October 15-18. Together with funders, thought leaders, and changemakers, we’ll explore opportunities to:
- Influence policies and leverage funding at the many intersections between aging and other critical funding areas, including economic security, health, disability, race, gender, and community-building.
- Scale up collaborations and co-investments.
- Build Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) into all our funding strategies and operations to advance more equitable philanthropic practice.
