The Patterson Foundation participates in AiA 2016

The Patterson Foundation shares how philanthropy uplifts the many approaches to aging with national experts

  1. Each day each one of us becomes more qualified to B part of the #AgeFriendly endeavors! #AiA16
  2. #Nonprofit is a tax status, not a business model - it may be time to develop an earned income plan. #AiA16 #TPFMarginMission
  3. “Instead of thinking saving for retirement think saving for life...a holistic approach to financing our future.” @JoAnn_Jenkins @AARP #AiA16
  4. "Retirement" is not a destination-can be 30 yrs long! Plan for "Go Go" yrs, "Slow Go" yrs and "No Go" yrs, housing, trans,etc #aia16
  5. #AiA16 on avg at 75+ years of age 36% are housing costs! Wow! Expensive & need to find housing solutions & not b isolated. @SrConnections
  6. Costs of aging in place: 1) home modifications, 2) meeting care needs, 3) cost to family. Do you know how much these cost? @leggmason #AiA16
  7. Affordability challenges hit all age groups - don't fall for myth that all older adults have stable housing. #AiA16  https://twitter.com/asaging/status/712301855003451394 
  8. Rather than being a project, #AgeFriendly is a community culture--it takes time, conversations, action #aia16
  9. When people, businesses, nonprofits, government & media drive creating their future - anything's possible  http://ow.ly/ZMFKy  #AiA16
  10. .@howard_gleckman: We need to break down the silos so people can get the care they need when they need it. #AiA16 #LTCFinancing
