Aging Well at Home and in Community

At The SCAN Foundation, we’re working to ensure that all older adults—especially people of color, those with lower incomes, and rural residents—age well at home and in their community.

Together, we can build a future where every older adult ages with dignity, purpose, and the supports they need.

We Listen Deeply and Lead Boldly

Health and aging policies, programs, and investments are often fragmented and designed without the people at the center. At The SCAN Foundation, we center older adults lived experiences to guide our efforts

Our Priorities

We work at the intersection of policy, program development, impact investing, and storytelling to elevate solutions that transform aging in California and nationally.
