National Council on Aging logo. We believe every person deserves to age well. That’s why we’re on a path to improve the lives of 40 million older adults by 2030.

Be Part of Our Commitment

Since 1950, NCOA has been there every step of the way ensuring that all older adults have the tools, resources, and skills to age with health, dignity, and economic well-being. As we are entering our 75th year, our commitment remains the same and is more vital than ever before. However, we can’t do this work alone.

You can help to build a better future for older adults 

Ed is an optimistic gentleman who, at age 83, believed “retirement will kill me.” He worked as a licensed pharmacist part-time, but when Ed got COVID, he had to stop working.

Without a steady income, he couldn’t pay his mortgage or purchase necessities. He reached out to an NCOA community partner – one of our 90 benefit enrollment centers nationwide – where frontline staff worked with Ed one-on-one to personalize his options. The team helped him apply for and enroll in local housing support and federal food assistance or SNAP benefits. Ed got some financial breathing room as he recuperated and set his sights on getting back to work. 

For every $1 raised, 93¢ goes directly into NCOA programs.
