We’re the philanthropic foundation of Transforming Age, a leading nonprofit organization committed to improving the lives of older adults by integrating housing, community services, technology, philanthropy, and partnerships.
Explore three ways you can be a catalyst for positive change now, through The Transformation Fund, Transforming Age Scholarships, and Transforming Age Cares. .
The Need
There is a national crisis in services for the aging, and it’s growing. Every day in the United States, 10,000 people turn 65 and already 29% of us are providing unpaid care for an aging loved one with a chronic illness or a disability at home. Yet private philanthropy remains nearly absent – only 6% of nonprofits focus on vulnerable seniors and their caregivers. You can help underserved seniors gain access to in-home health and wellness services, access affordable housing, participate in adult day programs that break social isolation, and provide respite to caregivers and families providing unpaid care to their elderly and disabled loved ones.
Only six percent of nonprofit organizations are focused on providing services to aging populations.
Americans born before 1964 make up the most generous generation in the country, accounting for nearly 70 percent of all charitable giving in the U.S.
Twenty-nine percent of American adults currently provide care to an aging, ill, or disabled family member.
More than three-fourths of Americans over 65 face chronic health challenges, from immobility to diabetes.
According to Pew Research Center, 40.4 million Americans currently act as unpaid caregivers to adults over 65.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of the aides is expected to grow by 36 percent in the next 10 years as demand for their services grows.
