Healthy Aging

The Community Foundation is committed to supporting charitable organizations, projects and programs located in or serving northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan that promote healthy aging — including initiatives that improve the physical, mental and social well-being of older adults, expand access to health and wellness resources, reduce isolation and loneliness, support family caregivers and strengthen the systems that help older adults remain engaged and independent in their communities.

The Healthy Aging Fund will prioritize projects that address the diverse needs of our region's growing older adult population, foster age-friendly communities, and support innovation in how we deliver care, connection and opportunity to those in their later years.

The Need:

Northwest Ohio's older adult population is growing, and with it comes increasing demand for coordinated, community-based solutions. From rural isolation to gaps in transportation, affordable housing and caregiver support, the challenges facing older adults in our region require sustained, local investment. This fund represents a long-term commitment to ensuring that aging well is possible for everyone — not just a fortunate few.
