How Organizations, Foundations and Businesses Can Get Involved
Everyone will benefit from EngAging Illinois. Therefore, everyone has a role to play in translating the Plan into real progress. We can all find ways to support making the Plan’s priorities, strategies, and actions become reality.
- Service providers and community-based organizations will play an essential role in many of the priorities and other exciting actions in the Plan, from piloting new affordable housing models to implementing age-friendly programs.
- Health systems and universities can pursue Age-Friendly and Dementia-Friendly designations.
- Foundations and other philanthropic organizations can identify the strategies and actions in the Plan that align with their funding priorities and offer expertise and financial support to create public-private partnerships that extend government investment in age-positive policies.
- Businesses can create vibrant, supportive multi-generational workplaces, employ older workers, extend support to employees who are caregivers, and ensure their businesses, services, and products are accessible and attractive to people of all ages.
We invite you partner with us—through the work groups, community engagement events, and more!
