Join us in transforming the aging journey today, and tomorrow.
We envision a society where aging is celebrated and respected, older adults are safely housed and socially connected regardless of means and abilities, and caregivers are supported.
We’re the Foundation of Transforming Age, a pioneering national nonprofit organization committed to enhancing the lives of older adults by integrating housing, community services, technology, philanthropy, and partnerships. We leverage charitable donations, grants, and public-private partnerships to help older adults to age in place with dignity, access essential services, and build meaningful connections.
Learn how you can empower vulnerable elders and support caregivers — our families’ front-line heroes — through partnership, charitable gifts, and volunteering.
We’re all on an aging journey. Let’s take it together!
There is a national crisis in health and wellness services for the aging. Yet private philanthropy remains nearly absent – only 6% of nonprofits focus on aging and the caregiving.
Every day in the United States 10,000 people turn 65. The “baby boomer” generation is retiring, many with limited means. Today between 20-29% of American adults are providing unpaid care for a loved one with a chronic illness or a disability at home. And caregiving can lead to physical, emotional, and financial strain. According to AARP, nearly 1 in 5 caregivers reports fair or poor health and suffers from at least one chronic condition.
Each year Transforming Age’s affiliates serve more than 125,000 older adults and their unpaid caregivers each year. We’ve saved taxpayers $50 million with community-based care and provided $10 million in unreimbursed charity support as elders remain in their homes.
We must grow as the need grows. There is so much more for us to do together. Join Us!

As an executive director for Transforming Age I see the personal struggles that our front line staff deal with on a day-by-day basis. Challenges such as relocating their children to protect them from an abusive relationship, dealing with a major sewer repair affecting the entire family, or even taking a trip to Africa to be with a dying parent. These challenges require an amount of money staff does not have. This is where our Emergency Fund comes in. The fund gives them an opportunity to provide the much needed funds to make it through the emergency that otherwise would cause the valued staff person to break. Please give to help our staff through these difficult times.
