Description
RRF Foundation for Aging funds knowledge-sharing and awareness-raising projects that convey meaningful information, shape narratives, and improve quality of life for older adults and their caregivers. The program addresses five priority areas: age equity, caregiving, economic security, housing, and social connection. Previously called Professional Education & Training Grants, it was updated in 2026.
Particular interests include establishing or expanding focused learning communities for professionals in aging and related fields, disseminating useful models and tools, and building awareness campaigns that engage diverse stakeholders in meaningful solutions. Projects may educate journalists, media organizations, and non-traditional partners to reach broad public audiences. RRF seeks actionable results that can be disseminated and scaled across organizations and settings.
