Aging with Independence

Older adults are a valuable gift – a tremendous source of insight, energy, and experience. Helping them remain healthy, active, and connected benefits them, their communities, and the entire region.

The Northland Foundation is interested in funding initiatives that provide:

• Volunteer, employment, and learning opportunities for older adults
• Activities that bring the older and younger generations together
• Services that help older people maintain their well-being and independence
• Support for caregivers

AGE to age: bringing the generations together is a new program within the Northland Foundation's Aging With Independence priority area. Ten communities across the region are participating in this exciting initiative in which young people and older adults identify a need in their own community and work together to address that need.
