Dear John,

Did you know that older adults who earn less than $20,000 a year die on average nine years earlier than their wealthier peers?

“We’re not talking about luxuries—we’re talking about 34 million households being on the brink of not being able to afford the basics.”
— Jessica Johnston, NCOA

Every day, millions of older Americans who worked hard their entire lives are being forced to make impossible choices:

Should they pay for medication or groceries?
Cover rent or heat their homes?

When basic needs go unmet, the ripple effects are profound. Families take on emotional and financial strain, and people’s health suffers. This is not just a personal hardship; it’s a systemic challenge that affects us all.

That's why your gift today matters.

For today only every gift of $75 or more will be matched 2:1, tripling your impact!

Your generosity today helps NCOA connect older adults to benefits that pay for food and medicine, provides falls prevention and chronic-care programs, and strengthens local organizations that serve as lifelines nationwide.

Together, we can close the gap, protect what matters most, and make sure that aging well is a right—not a privilege.

With gratitude,
