Josue's Fundraiser
I'm asking for donations to SAGE (Services & Advocacy for LGBTQ+ Elders), a national organization that works to ensure LGBTQ+ older adults thrive. I am a proud member of SAGE's Board of Directors and its mission means a lot to me. Every little bit will help me reach my goal. I've included information about SAGE below. Thank you for your support!
SAGE is a national advocacy and services organization that's been looking out for LGBTQ+ elders since 1978. The organization builds welcoming communities and keeps our issues in the national conversation to ensure a fulfilling future for all LGBTQ+ people.
LGBTQ+ older people are...
- Twice as likely to be single and live alone
- Four times less likely to have children. If we don’t look out for each other, who will?
Here are just a few of the important things SAGE is doing:
- Provides LGBTQ+ competency training for staff at long-term and other care facilities (250k+ to date)
- Publishes the Long-Term Care Equality Index (LEI) validated survey tool in partnership with Human Rights Campaign, which assesses inclusion for LGBTQ+ older people in residential long-term care communities
- Is building the nation's largest affordable LGBTQ+-welcoming housing developments for those 62 and older.
