About Leadingage
Leadingage Inc uses member grants to support aging-services organizations, with recent awards often landing at established providers and network affiliates rather than individuals. The largest recent grant in the file was $30,000 to National Lutheran Inc in Frederick, Maryland, and the same period shows repeated support for Leadingage New York Technology Solutions LLC in Latham, New York across 2023, 2024, and 2025. That mix points to a funder that backs both member organizations and internal infrastructure tied to the aging-services field. The foundation’s stated themes include aging services, long-term care and supportive services, leadership development, affordable housing for older adults, workforce and training, policy and advocacy, disaster relief for members, grants and scholarships. Recent grantees span retirement communities, senior housing providers, and faith-linked care organizations, including Westminster Retirement Communities Foundation Inc in Orlando and Hollenbeck Palms in Los Angeles. In practice, the giving reads as field-supporting grantmaking for organizations serving older adults, with a clear emphasis on member organizations and program support. Its active programs reinforce that pattern. The Leadership Development Fund and the Larry Minnix / LeadingAge Leadership Development Fund support scholarships, fellowships, diverse-leader initiatives, and participation in the Leadership Academy, while the Disaster Relief Fund provides emergency financial support to LeadingAge member organizations and their staff.
What Leadingage Funds
Leadership development is one of the clearest program areas. The LeadingAge Leadership Development Fund and the Larry Minnix / LeadingAge Leadership Development Fund both support scholarships, program expenses, fellowships, diverse leader initiatives, and student participation in the Leadership Academy. A second theme is member support for aging-services organizations. In 2024, Leadingage Inc gave $26,000 to Westminster Retirement Communities Foundation Inc in Orlando, Florida as a member grant, and it also awarded $20,000 to Hollenbeck Palms in Los Angeles, California under the same member-grant category. Technology and measurement support appear in the recent grant record as well. In 2025, LeadingAge New York Technology Solutions LLC in Latham, New York received $27,500 for a quality metrics interactive data tool, aligning with the funder’s stated interest in data infrastructure and performance measurement. Disaster relief is an explicit active program. The LeadingAge Disaster Relief Fund provides emergency financial support to member organizations and their staff affected by disasters.
