Geographic Focus
Where this funder awards grants
The SCAN Foundation's grant-making is primarily for the benefit of Californians. However, the foundation's policy work also has a federal focus, recognizing that care for California seniors is largely financed by the federal government through Medicare and Medicaid. The foundation has expanded its work beyond California to support advancements in other states and at the federal level, leveraging learnings from California to demonstrate scalable solutions in aging policy.
