What We Fund

Furthering Our Mission Through Our Grantmaking


Archstone Foundation’s goal is to partner with communities to catalyze equitable change in health and social care systems. We have an invitation-only application process and conduct grantmaking in two core areas: 1) Mobilizing communities and amplifying older adult voices and 2) Building the adaptability of organizations serving older adults.

The Foundation makes grants to the following types of organizations:

  • 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations that are not classified as private foundations in California or national organizations that have a footprint in California

  • California state and local government entities

Unfortunately, we are not able to provide funding for:

  • Capital campaigns

  • Individuals

  • Biomedical research

  • Political campaigns, voter registration drives or lobbying for specific legislation

  • Organizations that discriminate on the basis of age, disability, race, color, religion, gender, gender identity and expression, national origin, citizenship status, sexual orientation, or veteran status

Our Grantmaking Is Focused On

  • Mobilizing Communities, Amplifying Voices

    We are committed to increasing the visibility of older adults and helping build their leadership, advocacy skills, and civic engagement.

  • Building Adaptability of Organizations

    Strengthening the ability of community-based organizations to adapt to emerging issues is essential to their success as advocates for older adults.

  • Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

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