Grantmakers In Aging (GIA) offers this digital sharing kit to accompany our new publication, Better with Age: A Guide to Funding in a Longevity Society.  

Better with Age: A Guide to Funding in a Longevity Society reviews the landscape of funding in aging and presents opportunities for funders to increase their impact by considering how aging intersects with their investments.

New Frontiers for Funding provides guidance specifically for grantmakers supporting rural areas and how working on rural aging issues can increase the impact of many different kinds of philanthropies.

Innovation and Hope is a four-part webinar series and partnership between Grantmakers In Aging and the Helen Daniels Bader Alzheimer's & Healthy Aging Speaker Series

One in three older Americans dies with dementia, which is an umbrella term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with activities of daily living. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause, accounting for an estimated 60-80% of all cases of dementia. Foundations and other funders have joined federal and local governments in supporting research and implementation of many different types of dementia-related services. 

This report examines the mobility challenges that confront older people in rural communities across America and profiles some of the programs that exist to support them.

This funding guide offers grantmaking recommendations to help funders become engaged in rural mobility and suggests a dynamic research and policy agenda to empower older people in rural places to lead fuller lives. 

The Future of Rural Transportation and Mobility for Older Adults is a companion white paper to GIA’s Mobility & Aging in Rural America: The Role for Innovation. The paper examines rural mobility through a lens of technology and across a longer timeframe.

This guide examines the crisis caused by opioids in rural communities, particularly the impact on the lives of many older individuals, potential solutions, and initiatives that governments, communities and funders are implementing.
