What We Do
Collaborations
Our philosophy is that partnerships are imperative to create lasting change. We collaborate with others to exchange ideas, share resources, and work jointly to create better outcomes for older people.
Partnerships to Advance Equity in Aging
Transforming our systems to better serve elders requires collaboration and trust. One of Metta Fund’s core values is to use collaboration to bring awareness and funding to issues affecting older adults. In addition to our grant partnerships, we engage in external collaborations to further our impact and build a movement for equity in aging. We mobilize the expertise of leaders from philanthropy, government, the nonprofit sector, and arts & media to create learnings and strategies for inclusive communities where all can age with dignity and joy.
Our relationships are built on shared values, mutual commitments, continuous dialogue, and learning. We also look for opportunities to initiate and join formal partnerships with other funders to further advance our shared goals. Below are just a few of our partnerships.
