Our Impact Report

NCOA is focused on creating the conditions for all to age well. Our strategy is simple: Empower older adults, strengthen communities, and advocate for lasting change.
40 Million Lives Improved

Since 1950, our passion and our mission has been improving the lives of older adults. We believe aging well should be a right, not a privilege. And we're working to build a society where every person has the resources they deserve to age with health and financial security.

NCOA Vision and Mission

With your support, we acheived our social impact goal of improving the lives of 40 million older adults. Now, we have set our sights on changing systems so every one of us has access to the resources needed to age well.

How we count impact

In reporting our social impact, we count individuals served by NCOA and our partners who:

  • Realized a reduction in expenses and/or increase in income
  • Completed an evidence-based program proven to improve the health and well-being of participants
  • Completed an educational program to improve health or financial security
  • Preserved or enhanced the ability to age in place
  • Directly benefited from a policy change that would not have happened without NCOA's leadership and advocacy

A diverse group of people, including both older and younger adults, pose together outdoors at a community event or race. Many are wearing numbered race bibs and colorful athletic clothing. A man in the center, wearing black, raises his arm in celebration as others around him smile and cheer. The group exudes energy and enthusiasm, suggesting a positive and inclusive community gathering.
