RRF Foundation for Aging focuses on improving the quality of life for older people. To strengthen the Foundation’s impact, RRF has established Priority Areas. 

These Priority Areas are specific topics in aging that will be given higher priority within the Foundation’s grantmaking program.

Caregiving

Ensuring that caregivers are informed, well-trained, and supported while providing care to older people in community settings.

Economic Security in Later Life

Valuing the dignity of older people through efforts that ensure and protect their economic security and well-being.

Housing

Promoting efforts that make housing more affordable and provide coordinated services that enable older people to live safely in community settings.

Social & Intergenerational Connectedness

Strengthening social bonds through efforts that promote meaningful connections, including those that span generations.

Organizational Capacity Building

Improve management and governance of organizations in Illinois.

Other Promising Projects

While Priority Areas reflect RRF’s primary funding interests, we remain open to supporting other opportunistic aging projects (on a selective basis).
