Who Gets to Age With Dignity? Few Foundations Make Aging a Priority

Nearly everyone will age or be in a caregiving role for aging relatives at some point in their life, yet relatively few major donors or foundations make aging an explicit priority.

In this episode, Phil Buchanan and Grace Nicolette discuss the importance of enabling everyone to age with dignity with Ramsey Alwin, president and CEO of the National Council on Aging, and Chad Federwitz, manager of Pitkin County Senior Services in Aspen, Colo.

Ramsey and Chad offer insight into the numerous opportunities for donors to support aging programs, from research and advocacy to local community efforts, and discuss the vital role that senior centers and community programs play.
