Support Work That Changes Lives

For 25 years, CAC has been making a difference in the lives of older adults, family caregivers, students, and communities. Your support helps us continue this vital work—providing training, creating resources, offering programs, and advancing the field of aging services.

Your support helps us continue providing training, resources, and programs that make a real difference in people's lives.

Every gift matters. Every dollar makes a difference.

Impact of Your Gift

  • Training for Professionals – Help us develop curriculum and programming for the people working directly with older adults—from nursing home staff to case managers to adult day program directors. When professionals are well-trained, care quality improves for everyone.
  • Resources for Caregivers – Enable us to create and share resources that help family caregivers navigate their journey with confidence and support. 
  • Community Programs – Keep our programs free and accessible to everyone who needs them—no fees, no barriers, just support and connection. Your gift sustains programs like Memory Cafés, Caregiver Resource Groups, Dementia Friends training, the Aging Expert Speaker Series, and Virtual Dementia Tours.
  • Student Support & Research – Invest in the next generation of aging services leaders while advancing research that improves care. Your gift supports student fellowships and research opportunities, faculty research through the CAC Fellows Program, and essential research equipment and materials.
Innovation & Growth – Help us stay ahead of what's next in aging services. Your gift lets us pilot new programs, test innovative approaches, respond to emerging community needs, and build the partnerships that expand our impact.
