Program Description
“…we are prioritizing community-based organizations serving older adults disproportionately suffering from the COVID-19 crisis.”
“As the impact of COVID-19 continues to grow, so does the scale of the response. Our goal for the first iteration of this fund is to raise $5 million. But our work will not stop there. We intend to continue raising monies in order to transform the aging network and how we support older adults.”
