Archstone Foundation

**Improving the health and well-being of older Californians and their caregivers.** Archstone Foundation is a nonprofit, non-partisan, private foundation dedicated to improving the health and well-being of older Californians and their caregivers. Since its inception, the Foundation has responded to the implications of California’s changing demographics by funding initiative-based grants, educational programs, and innovative responses to the emerging and unmet needs of this growing number of older adults. Archstone Foundation has also funded a wide range of grantees making important contributions in critical, yet often overlooked areas of need. Since its inception, the Foundation has awarded more than 1,200 grants with a total value of over $127 million, well surpassing its initial endowment. ****Our New Strategic Direction**** In 2019, Archstone Foundation staff began a strategic planning process to review our work to better understand and respond to the most pressing issues facing older adults’ health and well-being. Stakeholders throughout Southern California and a wide range of regional and national experts identified long-standing systemic failures and the lack of coordination between health care and social services as fundamental challenges.
