The Age-Friendly: Go Local grant program originated in 2022 from our commitment to nurture age-friendly, livable, and equitable communities that enhance the health and well-being of all residents. Our goal was to ignite innovation by supporting community-based and grassroots organizations in their efforts to plan, pilot, or implement visionary projects to improve the lives of older adult populations, especially those in under-served communities. To strengthen the impact of the grant program, we formed a strategic partnership with the New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM).

This report summarizes the projects developed by the 18 organizations that made up the inaugural cohort of Age-Friendly: Go Local.
