The Impact of YOUR Gift:

AGE works diligently to diversify funding and establish sustainability funds that can be depended on through any potential financial crisis or changes.   Unrestricted planned gifts made to AGE will go toward AGE’s sustainability funds to ensure that any future financial hardships like that seen during the COVID-19 pandemic experienced by AGE will not impact the organization’s ability to provide services to older adults and caregivers in need.  Donors have the right to restrict their gift to be used for specific purposes. If the donor’s allocation of this restricted gift isn’t possible upon receival of the gift, AGE will re-allocate that gift to a similar endeavor or to support sustainability funds. Allocation changes will be communicated to the donor if possible or with the executor of the donor’s estate.
