NCOA is campaigning to increase funding for Older Americans Act programs--to invest in health, service and economic security for America's seniors.

Here's how you can help:

• Join our Aging Advocacy Network to receive campaign alerts and updates.
• Check out our campaign toolkit to learn more--and take action.
• E-mail your members of Congress each month, urging them to increase OAA funding.
• Tell us a story about how OAA funding has helped--or its lack has hurt--seniors you serve.
• Forward our e-mails to others; encourage them to join this campaign and contact Congress.

Why this campaign?

• Funding for the Older Americans Act (OAA)--the backbone of services to America’s aging population--has been stagnant for years.
• The over-60 population keeps growing.
• The cost of services continues to rise.
• The recession has hit seniors hard.
• OAA investments that help seniors remain independent--for health, service and economic security--remain low.

NCOA is calling upon Congress to invest in older Americans--a 12 percent increase for 2010.
