Senior Advocates For Generational Equity Inc

Programs: Leadership and education: sage led discussions, focus groups and workshops to raise awareness about the challenges facing younger and future generations, and ways to make a difference. During the fiscal year, we led 13 of these events, including workshops on mentoring, civic engagement, teaching youth grit and resiliency, intergenerational volunteering, grassroots organizing, and giving forward. This year, we also featured a keynote address from the mayor of portland to elevate the leadership role that older adults play in our communities. During the year, we also interviewed nearly 70 members and released our impact report to tell an inspiring story of how one generation is helping another. We learned that our sages volunteer over 32,000 hours per year for nonprofits an investment valued at over $780,000 each year. Together, sages strengthen education, restore the environment and create a more secure economy for generations to come. Grants $ 0. Expenses $ 96,005.

legacy fellowship: sage launched its third legacy fellowship, our nine-month leadership development program to inspire, train and support individuals and teams to carry out community benefit projects of their own design. With the support of our coach and expert advisors, each fellow defined a community challenge or area of need, and leveraged their strengths to implement a solution. Projects ran the gamut from combating homelessness and hunger, to empowering girls, to promoting affordable housing. Sage honored the fourteen graduates of the program in june of 2017. Together, fellows demonstrate how citizen initiatives strengthen communities and improve our world. Grants $ 0. Expenses $ 28,198

For instance, we launched a campaign to motivate seniors to donate their senior discounts to another charity that provides after school programs for children in need.

Sage also continued to offer personalized advice and coaching to help older adults find meaningful service and advocacy roles. Grants $ 0. Expenses $ 16,688.
