Aging Well: A Community Approach to Growing Older

Aging well is about more than healthcare. It’s about having a safe and affordable place to live, reliable ways to get where we need to go, the financial resources to live with stability, and opportunities to stay connected to the people and communities around us. These everyday conditions can shape whether we are able to remain healthy, independent, and engaged as we grow older.

We invite you to join us for, "Aging Well: A Community Approach to Growing Older," an interactive gathering designed to bring funders and issue experts together to explore how these interconnected systems shape the experience of aging.

What to Expect:

• Coffee & Networking
• Hear from Dr. Caitlin Coyle, Director of the Center for Social and Demographic Research on Aging (CSDRA), a program of UMASS Boston and a SIF 2026 Social Innovator, on what research tells us about the conditions that support healthy aging and social connection.
• Learn from issue experts representing health care, government, and foundation perspectives. Stay tuned for speaker lineup!
• Dive deeper with peers through facilitated table conversations designed to connect ideas across issue areas and spark new perspectives.
• Q&A & Dessert

We hope you’ll join us for a conversation about what it takes to age well and the role that housing, transportation, financial security, and community connections play in helping people thrive as they grow older. 

This program is generously sponsored by the Stifler Family Foundation and will be hosted by LGBTQ Senior Housing.
