Showcasing and Strengthening Models of Community-based Elder-Led Advocacy

Goal

To create a fund that provides small grants to 10-15 older adult-led, community-based grassroots advocacy groups for capacity-building and/or general support, technical assistance and resources such as leadership development and advocacy training and strategic communications skills to strengthen their ability to be strong advocates. In addition, to create a shared learning network that connects to national policy issues and provides a forum for exchange of best practices in elder-led advocacy and for these experts in the field to explain how to support and strengthen their work.
