Intentional, diversity focused grantmaking is one of our key steps in addressing racial and health disparities.

Capacity Building.
We recognize that funding for direct operational support can help nonprofits work more efficiently and effectively.
Even in the face of the State of California's fiscal challenges – Gov. Gavin Newsom’s $292 billion budget for 2024-25 assumes a $38 billion revenue shortfall – the proposed budget shows the administration’s commitment to the needs of older Californians.
We are very gratified that, in contrast to times of shortfall in the past, which led to severe cuts in programs for low-income and vulnerable older adults, this budget would preserve or even continue to improve many important services. So we urge the Legislature to make many aspects of the governor’s proposal a reality.
In 2009, in response to the Great Recession, the state cut payment rates to non-profits providing services, capped the number who could be served, and cancelled entire programs. Some of these cuts have only been restored in the last two years. The Alzheimer’s Caregiver Resource Centers, for example, were entirely defunded for 10 years until they were resurrected in 2020. (And unfortunately these do seem very likely to disappear once again.)
The proposed budget shows the administration’s commitment to the needs of older Californians.
Forward Together: Building Momentum for Equitable, Coordinated Care.
We are excited to share our 2023 online Report to the Field! This new format is an overview of our work over the past two years and provides an illustration of our vision for equitable, coordinated care for older Californians.
This is our first report since the Foundation began implementing its Three T’s grantmaking strategy: Teams, Training, and Technology. Promoting teams, enhancing training, and improving technology are our pillars for improving care coordination, expanding the definition of care to include social services as well as medical treatment, and ensuring that care for older Californians is increasingly equitable, just, inclusive, and embracing of diversity.
