Description
The RRF Foundation for Aging offers grants to support knowledge sharing and awareness-raising projects that convey meaningful information, shape public narratives, and drive positive change in the field of aging. Funded projects must address one or more of the foundation’s priority areas: age equity, caregiving, economic security, housing, and social connection. Projects of particular interest include those that:
- Establish or expand learning communities for professionals in aging and related fields
- Disseminate effective models, tools, and strategies to improve quality of life for older adults and caregivers
- Build awareness campaigns to engage diverse stakeholders and the general public
- Educate journalists, media, and non-traditional partners about aging issues
The goal is to generate scalable, actionable results that benefit older adults and their caregivers across organizations and settings.
