Harness the power of technology to change the way we age.
Older Adults Technology Services centers its grantmaking on older-adult technology access and training, with a clear emphasis on programs that help people age with digital skills. A defining part of its recent work is the Senior Planet Licensing Program, which is offered free of charge and gives local organizations curriculum, coaching, tools, and administrative support to deliver Senior Planet technology programming for older adults. That model shows up in grants to organizations such as Orlando Community and Youth Trust Inc in Orlando, Florida, and Fresno County Economic Opportunities in Fresno, California, both funded to support the Senior Planet Program. The foundation also supports community-based digital inclusion efforts through the NY Digital Inclusion initiative, including grants to the Southern Adirondack Library System in Saratoga Springs, New York, and the Clinton Essex Franklin Library System in Plattsburgh, New York. Beyond those initiatives, its portfolio includes Digital Skills 50 Plus awards to a broad set of local organizations working with adult learners age 50 and older. The result is a grantmaker focused less on isolated projects than on delivering repeatable technology education and access programs through partner organizations.
In digital inclusion, Older Adults Technology Services backs local delivery systems rather than one-off technology purchases. The Southern Adirondack Library System in Saratoga Springs, New York, received $56,000 for the NY Digital Inclusion initiative, and the Clinton Essex Franklin Library System in Plattsburgh, New York, received $28,500 for the same initiative. For digital skills training, the foundation made multiple $20,000 grants in 2023 to organizations serving adults 50 and older, including Senior Citizens of Greater Dallas Inc in Dallas, Texas, for the Digital Skills 50 Plus initiative and Impact Hub Houston in Houston, Texas, for the same initiative. Its age-friendly technology work also includes support for mobility and everyday use of tech. Justa Center Inc in Phoenix, Arizona, received $20,000 for the Digital Skills 50 Plus initiative, reflecting the broader older-adult service orientation that runs through the portfolio.
Typical grant size is tightly clustered: the 25th percentile is $6,000, the median is $9,000, and the 75th percentile is $15,000. Recent activity includes both mid-sized awards and many $20,000 grants, plus a few larger grants above $50,000 tied to named initiatives. The pattern also suggests recurring support for shared program models rather than isolated, one-time grants. Senior Planet and NY Digital Inclusion appear in multiple awards, and the same initiative labels recur across different recipients. The foundation is not a funder of individuals and does not make program-related investments. It uses a direct-service, partnership-driven approach, including a licensing and capacity-building program that is offered free of charge and accepts unsolicited participation.
