About Archstone Foundation

Improving the health and well-being of older Californians and their caregivers.

Archstone Foundation is a nonprofit, non-partisan, private foundation dedicated to improving the health and well-being of older Californians and their caregivers. Since its inception, the Foundation has responded to the implications of California’s changing demographics by funding initiative-based grants, educational programs, and innovative responses to the emerging and unmet needs of this growing number of older adults. Archstone Foundation has also funded a wide range of grantees making important contributions in critical, yet often overlooked areas of need. Since its inception, the Foundation has awarded more than 1,200 grants with a total value of over $127 million, well surpassing its initial endowment.

Archstone Foundation History

Our New Strategic Direction


In 2019, Archstone Foundation staff began a strategic planning process to review our work to better understand and respond to the most pressing issues facing older adults’ health and well-being. Stakeholders throughout Southern California and a wide range of regional and national experts identified long-standing systemic failures and the lack of coordination between health care and social services as fundamental challenges.

In direct response to the siloed nature of care for older people, the Foundation’s new strategic direction shifts from specific priority areas to three broader, coordinated strategies, our Three Ts: Teams, Training, and Technology. We believe this shift will enable more older adults and their caregivers to access high-quality care across systems. Our grantmaking will emphasize the interrelated systems and models required to provide a more comprehensive, coordinated system of care for California’s aging population. We also believe that this work will improve the health and well-being of Californians and their caregivers and advance a more just and equitable care system.

To learn more about our new strategic direction, we encourage you to explore the What We Fund section of our website, which provides greater detail about our work in these areas.
