Catalyzing Investment in Age Integration
GIA is building a movement to catalyze investment in inclusive and age-integrated communities, because we’re all aging, all the time, and a society that engages, connects, and cares for people at every age is healthier and more creative, resilient, and interesting. Learn more about our movement.
Mission
GIA is a community of funders mobilizing money and ideas to strengthen policies, programs, and resources for all of us as we age.
Vision
Our vision is a just and inclusive world where all people are fully valued, recognized, and engaged at all ages.
We create opportunities for funders to connect, collaborate, and co-fund. We help funders who are already investing in aging to fund more strategically, and we help funders who are not funding in aging to identify the intersections of aging and every other funding priority.
Values
We value diversity of demographics and viewpoints, including but not limited to age, race, culture, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, and disability status.
We value inclusion of people and groups that have been traditionally excluded from funding and decision-making.
We value equity, and seek to rectify structural and systemic injustices that benefit some groups and harm others.
We value action, and work to champion aging-related issues and investments.
We value collaboration, recognizing that funders, policymakers, advocates, and nonprofits can achieve more together than apart, and we do not prioritize the aging population at the expense of other populations.
We value age-integration, and work to bridge rather than further divide people of different ages.
We value integrity, holding ourselves accountable to our membership, to the philanthropic sector, and to older people.
We value learning, and are open to new ideas and perspectives.
