Mission: Since 1950, the National Council on Aging (NCOA) has been the national voice for older adults. We helped end mandatory retirement. We advocated to secure Medicare, Medicaid, and the Older Americans Act. Local organizations turned to us for support as they served older adults every day. And we built digital tools that empower older adults with knowledge.

We believe aging well is something every American deserves-regardless of gender, color, sexuality, income, or zip code.

We will deliver the resources, tools, best practices, and advocacy our nation needs to ensure that every person can age with health and financial security.

National Council on Aging is a 501(c)(3) organization, with an IRS ruling year of 1961, and donations are tax-deductible.
