Joining Hearts, Changing Lives

Institute on Aging (IOA) is committed to expanding service offerings in caregiving, living with dementia, social isolation and loneliness through extraordinary experiences that join hearts and change lives. Every year, our programs touch the lives of nearly 60,000 individuals and their circles of care, creating heart-to-heart connections that leave the world brighter, kinder, and more interconnected.

We invite you to join us on Thursday, May 1, 2025 at our Joining Hearts, Changing Lives gala to celebrate the connections Institute on Aging creates, and honor Adele Corvin, a champion of aging adults and accomplished community leader. Her volunteerism and community activism span nearly seven decades, during which time Adele left her mark on numerous Bay Area nonprofits, including IOA, where she is an Honorary Lifetime Director.

Who will benefit from your support?

For more than 40 years, IOA has shaped the future of aging in California, connecting aging adults and adults with disabilities to the resources that help them live independently, with dignity and joy. From the Friendship Line, whose staffers connect with thousands of isolated and lonely individuals every month, to Companioa, IOA’s comprehensive dementia support program, IOA is unique in its offerings and its dedication to aging Californians.

By 2030, one in four Californians will be an older adult, and your sponsorship will provide the critical support necessary to meet the ever-growing demand for our services and ensure that older Californians have a future to look forward to.
