Donate to the National Black Caucus and Center on Aging

This Black History Month, we’re fundraising for the National Black Caucus and Center on Aging (NBCA). NCBA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for older Black and minority Americans.

Founded in 1970, NCBA works to address issues facing Black and minority seniors, such as access to healthcare, economic security, and social justice. They advocate for policies and programs that promote the well-being of older Black and minority individuals and ensure they have a voice in decisions affecting their lives.

If your senior living community is participating in fundraising, see the donation jar and info flyer posted in your building about this incredible cause. Find out more about this organization at NCBA-aging.org.
