That may look like a roof over a family’s head, a meal for a hungry child, or a shelter for a domestic violence survivor.

Together, we can change that. But why stop there?
The Impact Fund for Successful Aging empowers older adults by:
Aging is not new. But the rapid growth of our older population certainly is. Specific segments are projected to quadruple within just 4 decades. Government and federal programs cannot sustainably support this growing need. But you can.
We must start now to build capacity for generations to come.
Let us celebrate life’s continuum. Join us in enabling better policies and support systems so that all our older adults can benefit from a longevity dividend by giving through the Successful Aging Impact Fund.
Within the heart of the hospital nursery, 10 sleeping newborns peacefully begin their journey into our world. All healthy. All born into loving families. All with innate capacity for greatness.
Yet, by virtue of their families’ zip code, 3 of these infants are poised to begin life in an opportunity deficit.
Behind this illustration lies a sobering reality: 110,321 children in Bexar County live in poverty.
This staggering statistic is why we have assembled a dynamic collective of changemakers taking on the challenge of:
Our cradle-to-career continuum bridges the opportunity gap from a challenging childhood to thriving adulthood.

Watch as your generosity initiates a chain reaction – unearthing hidden talents and unlocking a world of possibilities.
Together, we have the capacity to redefine the course of both our youth and our community, one scholarship at a time.
