Why AGE+?

People are living longer, which calls for new intergenerational strategies to value and care for older adults. Community networks are needed to fill in housing, mobility and caregiving gaps, especially for older adults who are isolated, low-income and underserved.

AGE+ empowers communities through stimulating partnerships, training and sponsoring innovative programs that address the challenges and opportunities facing aging in America.

Join us for the Ageless Awards!

Ageism shapes how people are seen and valued as they get older, limiting opportunity and weakening communities. Public narratives rarely reflect the leadership, experience, and ongoing contributions of people 75+. These stories deserve to be seen, celebrated, and shared widely. That’s why we created the Ageless Award.

Join this year’s celebration on April 15, 2026 in person in Portland or virtually. Reserve your seat today!
