Donate to NCOA
When you donate to NCOA, we put your gift to work by connecting people to benefits and programs that can help them pay for food and other daily expenses. Last year alone, NCOA improved the health and financial security of 2.3 million people. But millions more are struggling.
How your gift to NCOA helps older adults
Nutritious meals are key to maintaining good health as we age. Food prices continue to rise and can be difficult for many older adults to afford. Yet, more than half of those who are eligible are missing out on programs that can help.
Now more than ever, your generosity changes lives. Thank you for your support.
Why donate to the National Council on Aging
For 70 years, we’ve changed the world for many people. We were the first national voice for older adults. We helped end mandatory retirement. We advocated to secure Medicare, Medicaid, and the Older Americans Act. Local organizations turned to us for support as they served older adults every day. And we built tools that empower people to age with dignity and independence.
Your donation to NCOA helps us deliver the resources, digital tools, best practices, and advocacy our nation needs to ensure that every person can age with health and financial security.
