Mission & Focus Areas
The Foundation’s mission is to improve health and social care for all older adults in California. Its 2026 FAQ identifies its priority population as Californians age 60 and over who face challenges accessing quality care, especially people facing multiple barriers. Its two strategic aims are to mobilize communities and amplify older adult voices, and to build the adaptability of organizations serving older adults.
The Foundation supports California 501(c)(3) nonprofits that are not private foundations, national organizations with a California footprint, and California state and local government entities. Its website describes its work as increasing older adults’ visibility, leadership, advocacy skills, and civic engagement, while strengthening community-based organizations’ ability to adapt to emerging issues.
Recent recipients illustrate the range of organizations it supports. The SCAN Foundation says it seeks equitable changes in how older adults age at home and in the community. Justice in Aging describes its work as advocating nationwide for the independence and well-being of low-income older adults and disabled Americans. Public Health Institute says it works through research, leadership, and partnerships to build capacity for public health policy, programs, systems, and practices.
Grantmaking
In 2025, the Foundation reported 68 grants totaling $2,307,276. Grant amounts ranged from $100 to $242,072, with a median of $15,000.
Among the largest reported grants were $242,072 to Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders Association for work to increase access to dementia diagnosis and improve care in primary care settings serving underserved populations; $169,803 to RAND Corporation for an impact evaluation of the Foundation’s “three T” strategic approach; and $150,000 to The SCAN Foundation to support California’s implementation of the Master Plan for Aging.
