How your gift to NCOA helps older adults

Nutritious meals are key to maintaining good health as we age. Food prices continue to rise and can be difficult for many older adults to afford. Yet, more than half of those who are eligible are missing out on programs that can help.  

Why donate to the National Council on Aging

For 70 years, we’ve changed the world for many people. We were the first national voice for older adults. We helped end mandatory retirement. We advocated to secure Medicare, Medicaid, and the Older Americans Act. Local organizations turned to us for support as they served older adults every day. And we built tools that empower people to age with dignity and independence.

Your donation to NCOA helps us deliver the resources, digital tools, best practices, and advocacy our nation needs to ensure that every person can age with health and financial security.  

NCOA is a qualified 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, and donations are tax-deductible.

We are a top-rated charity by BBB Wise Giving Alliance, Candid, Charity Navigator, and Charity Watch.
