Funding

The important work of the Center for Technology and Aging would not be possible without the generous support of The SCAN Foundation. Through an initial grant of $5 million The SCAN Foundation has supported the establishment of the Center to promote the independence and well-being of older adults through the broader diffusion of beneficial technologies. The Center serves as a national resource for providers and policy makers who are engaged in using technology to enhance the lives of older adults.

The Center funds demonstration programs to test strategies to promote the diffusion of technology. We also serve as a trusted and independent expert voice on current technology; providing unbiased analysis and basic facts on technologies that help promote the independence of older adults. In addition, we are a source of information concerning current research, implementation tools, and policy initiatives related to technologies that help older adults maintain their independence.

The Center for Technology and Aging is able to receive funding from multiple sources including public support, government grants, corporate donations and grants, and private philanthropy.
