WELCOME
Dear Colleagues and Friends:
I’d like to take this opportunity to cordially invite
you to GIA’s 2014 Annual Conference, which will
take place October 22-24, 2014, in San Francisco,
California. Perhaps no other city in America could
be more emblematic of this year’s theme, “Greater
Expectations: A New Vision for Aging Philanthropy.”
From its early days as the farthest western outpost of
American expansion, through its modern evolution into
an intellectual and cultural mecca for poets, artists,
musicians, philosophers, social innovators, and most
recently, information technology entrepreneurs, the
city on the Bay has always exemplified a pioneering
spirit, visionary thinking, and a refusal to anchor itself
to the limitations of the past.
With its wide array of excellent restaurants, quirky
boutiques, colorful neighborhoods, and internationally
renowned attractions such as Golden Gate Park,
Ghirardelli Square, and Alcatraz Island—not to
mention the gorgeous panorama of San Francisco Bay
and the sheer exhilaration of riding those cable cars
up and down the city’s steep hills—San Francisco can
surprise and inspire you at every turn.
What better place, then, to reflect upon and refresh
our approach to philanthropy in aging? To engage the
new challenges that lie ahead, as our theme suggests,
we will need to expect more of ourselves and our
grantmaking than ever before. At the time of the last
U.S. Census, in 2010, more than 40 million people
age 65+ were living in the U.S.—the most in our
nation’s history. The Census Bureau predicts that
number will grow at an unprecedented rate. By 2030,
it will top 72 million.
The need to cope with changes of this magnitude has
already begun to move us to transform our approach
in providing older adults—especially those with low
incomes—with access to health care, social services,
housing, transportation, safe environments, and even
food. It influences the way we plan and organize our
communities, as well as how we allocate financial
and human resources. It demands that every sector—
public, business, nonprofit, and philanthropic—
become ever more aware, creative, reactive, and
nimble in order to meet the unforeseen challenges
that undoubtedly await us.
Like our host city, the conference itself will offer its
own varied and panoramic landscape of presentations,
ideas for your consideration and use, as well as
the opportunity to connect with experts, funders,
thought leaders, and colleagues. Please come and take
advantage of all we have to offer.
I look forward to seeing you there!
Sincerely,
Christopher A. Langston, PhD

ANNUAL CONFERENCE THEME
GREATER EXPECTATIONS:
A NEW VISION FOR AGING PHILANTHROPY
Just a few short years ago, relatively few people
thought about aging as an area of pressing social,
policy, and economic interest. Now aging is taking
center stage, and with good reason. In the next two
decades, our older population will expand rapidly,
and that population will differ radically from previous
generations in its diversity, health, and longevity. As
more economic and human resources inevitably flow
toward the opportunities and challenges of an aging
society, philanthropy must expand its vision.
Funders in aging are already supporting innovative,
even transformative models of health care, caregiving,
housing, transportation, lifelong learning, and
community development that make sense for this
aging population. We are learning how to guide older
people to take best advantage of the many benefits that
both private and public sector programs can offer. We
are creating new ways to integrate older people more
deeply into the public life of our communities, offer
them chances to expand their knowledge and skills,
and serve those in need, so that no older adult is left
helpless, isolated, or uncared for.
The challenges, of course, are many. Political
disagreements and economic realities limit public
funding, and we haven’t yet discovered how best
to address the complex demands an aging society
will present. That simply means there are boundless
opportunities for grantmakers to help shape an
older America. Join us in San Francisco for GIA’s
2014 Annual Conference, where leaders in aging
philanthropy will describe how they’re working to
meet the greater expectations we have for ourselves
and our communities in the 21st Century. And discover
how your organization, whether large or small, local or
national, can lift its efforts and make an even greater
contribution in the years ahead.

•S
ite Visit and Conference Intensive
Session: Dual Eligibles: Integration
Efforts at the Federal, State, and
Local Levels (Advance registration
required)
About 9 million people in the United States
are covered by both Medicare and Medicaid,
including low-income seniors and younger
people with disabilities. These beneficiaries,
referred to as “dual eligibles,” often have
complex and costly health care needs. Over the
years, California and many other states have
sought to improve integration of programs and
services in order to move toward a more costeffective and person-centered delivery system.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
(ACA) bolstered these efforts with initiatives
aimed at spurring innovations across states,
including improvements to supports and services
for dual eligibles.
Conference attendees will have the opportunity
to visit one of two programs offering services
for this population. Following the site visit, a
conference intensive session will provide funders
with an insight into federal, state, and local
efforts to achieve an integrated system of care for
dual eligibles and the role philanthropy can play
in support of these efforts.

12:30 pm – 2:30 pm
• On Lok Lifeways (limited to 40 participants)
• Institute on Aging (limited to 40 participants)
On Lok, which means “peaceful, happy abode” in
Cantonese, was created in 1971, when its founders
sought an alternative to nursing home care for frail
seniors. From these beginnings, On Lok pioneered
the model of care known today as “Program of
All-inclusive Care for the Elderly” or PACE, which
is recognized as a Medicare and Medicaid program
throughout the United States. PACE is a proven
model of care for seniors living with chronic illness
or disabilities, enabling them to maintain their
independence, dignity, and quality of life. Today,
On Lok’s PACE program, On Lok Lifeways, provides
comprehensive integrated care to nearly 1,300 frail
seniors in three San Francisco Bay Area counties.
PACE centers are lively places where participants
have access to medical care, social activities,
exercise, and meals and are integral to the PACE
model of care. On Lok is innovating its PACE program
through the use of community-based physicians
and alternative care settings in preparation for
California’s dual demonstration program, Cal
MediConnect. In addition to PACE, On Lok operates
On Lok’s 30th Street Senior Center which provides
health and wellness programs, activities and social
interaction, nutritious meals, and case management
services for over 5,000 San Francisco seniors.
Since 1975, the Institute on Aging (IOA) has
been an innovator of geriatric programs, largely
due to the scope of its comprehensive health,
social, and psychological services. In addition to
providing services to the dual-eligible population
through PACE, IOA is currently working on two
groundbreaking projects. The first is an inaugural
pilot program in which IOA will partner with San
Mateo Health Plan and Brilliant Corners Housing
to transition 30 percent of the health plan’s skilled
nursing population into a lower level of care as well
as provide an enhanced service package to people
in the community at risk for institutional care. In
the second project, IOA is participating with San
Francisco Community Based Organizations in
receiving technical support from the Administration
for Community Living to form a managed service
organization that will contract with health plans.
develop programs that keep seniors living at home
for as long as possible. Attendees will also have an
opportunity to converse with staff and learn about
requirements under ACA to serve dual-eligible
beneficiaries in the Bay Area.
3:00 pm – 5:00 pm
• Conference Intensive: Dual Eligibles:
Integration Efforts at the Federal, State,
and Local Levels
National efforts to develop integration for dual
eligibles have included delivery system innovations
such as Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the
Elderly (PACE) and Medicare Dual Eligible Special
Needs Plans (D-SNPs). The passage of the Affordable
Care Act (ACA) laid the foundation for several
significant opportunities to improve service delivery
for dual eligibles. Among these was the creation of
the Medicare-Medicaid Coordination Office (MMCO)
within the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS), a new entity aimed at ensuring dual
eligibles have full access to high-quality health care
provided in an efficient manner.
This session will lay out the MMCO’s current
efforts, challenges, and successes, and then offer a
presentation that highlights the integration efforts
the State of California is undertaking. The state has
begun to roll out its duals demonstration pilot in
a number of counties. Aging service leaders from
our host city, San Francisco, will discuss the city’s
efforts to develop a seamless system of care for their
dual-eligible population. Finally, we will hear from
a consumer advocate about the issues dual eligibles
face as these efforts evolve. The session is structured
to leave plenty of time for questions from and
interactions with the audience.

3:00 pm – 5:00 pm
• Understanding Retirement Security and
Making a Difference
The future of income security for retirees is fast
becoming a concern for local communities, states,
and the nation. Recent changes in retirement plans,
concern over proposed changes to Social Security,
and rising health care costs all contribute to a more
uncertain retirement for older adults. The U.S. Census
Bureau calculates under the supplemental poverty
measure that 15 percent of adults age 65+ are
experiencing economic hardship. Many more are at
high risk of falling into poverty if income declines or
expenses for health care, housing, or long-term care
increase. Both local and national funders can become
involved in helping resolve these issues.
This session will raise important questions, such as:
• Are there successful programs that currently
address improving retirement security, particularly
at the local or regional level?
• What more do we need to know and where do we
need to do more?
• Should we be funding policy work, service work,
research, or other areas?
• How do we evaluate what is being done?
• What partners need to be at the table?

Can an iPod transform a life? Sundance Audience
Award winning film, Alive Inside: A Story of Music &
Memory, follows social worker Dan Cohen’s journey,
beginning in 2006, as he explores how individuals
with Alzheimer’s disease reconnect to cherished
memories and the world around them while they
listen to personalized music playlists on iPods.
Through conversations with neurologist Oliver Sacks
and others, this powerful documentary demonstrates
how connecting the elderly to the music they love
not only combats memory loss but also supplements
a health care system struggling to provide personcentered care for the aging. Following the film, Dan
Cohen, MSW, founding Executive Director, Music &
Memory, Inc., will be available to answer questions.

MORNING SESSIONS
11:00 am – 12:30 pm
• Session 1 | Amplifying Lessons Learned from
the Institute of Medicine’s Groundbreaking
Reports on Aging and Health
SESSION DESIGNER
• Laura Rath, Archstone Foundation
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National
Academies is a highly regarded, independent nonprofit
organization that works outside of government to
provide unbiased and authoritative advice to decision
makers and the public. Its reports provide critically
needed and often groundbreaking information that
can be amplified to help shape the public conversation
about key issues in health and aging.
This session will explore three aging topics that the
IOM has addressed or plans to cover:
• Improving care at the end of life;
• Elder abuse and its prevention; and
• Family caregiving.
Thoughtful panelists who have participated in
the development of IOM reports on these topics
will explore the IOM process and discuss how
philanthropies can build their work from or around
these reports, and no matter their level of funding,
connect their grantmaking to broader efforts to
address these critical issues.

ession 2 | Building Business Skills in
Community Organizations
Federal changes in health care require providers to
improve health and quality of care while reducing
costs. In response, integrated care entities, such
as accountable care organizations, health plans,
and health systems, are seeking to enter into cost
sharing partnerships with community-based social
service agencies to provide long-term services and
supports. These partnerships require communitybased aging and disability organizations to undergo
a culture change from grant-based operations to a
more business-oriented structure. This session will
provide funders with information on how national,
state, regional, and community funders are working
together to assist aging services agencies in acquiring
the necessary business skills.

Plus Services Collaborations
SESSION DESIGNER
• Marc McDonald, AARP Foundation
At the 2012 GIA Conference, LeadingAge highlighted
a Learning Collaborative on Housing Plus Services.
The first outcome of the two-year Learning
Collaborative focuses on linking affordable senior
housing with health-related services, a promising
model for helping older adults successfully age in
place, while bringing mutual benefits to housing
and healthcare providers (including significant
reduction in healthcare costs without sacrificing
patient health). This session will discuss how
philanthropy can make an impact on the creation
and implementation of these partnerships through
three separate strategies:
• community-based interventions;
• policy and advocacy efforts; and
• consumer/resident engagement.

State scorecards are a valuable tool for describing
and tracking delivery systems across states and
over time. The AARP Public Policy Institute, with
funding from The Commonwealth Fund and The
SCAN Foundation, has produced the second State
Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) Scorecard.
The Scorecard presents state rankings reflecting five
dimensions of a high-performing LTSS system. This
session will provide highlights of the key findings
across states and provide insights from three top
performers. Using California as an example, this
session will present a case study illustrating how
the Scorecard results can be used by foundations as
a platform for LTSS systems transformation at the
local, state, and federal levels.
The GIA Fellows are prominent graduate-level
students working across a wide range of aging
disciplines. Presentations by these up-and-coming
leaders will give conference participants direct access
to their cutting-edge research in a variety of agingrelated subjects. This year’s competitively selected
Fellows come from leading universities in California.

SESSION DESIGNERS

arbara R. Greenberg and Jan Schwarz, The
Philanthropic Group
Want to learn how to make your community agefriendly in ways that will endure long after your
foundation’s grants end? To create sustainable
age-friendly communities, pioneering funders
have invested in systemic change. This kind of
grantmaking holds greater expectations and
challenges for funders to stretch beyond their usual
funding partners and build alliances with other
long-term community stakeholders—including local
government and planning agencies and federated
funders, such as United Way and Jewish Federations.
Learn about the funding rationales of grantmakers
who have created sustainable age-friendly
communities. Explore several successful models.
Learn about potential roles for your foundation. Bring
home practical how-to materials that will help you
take the next steps in your community.

• Session 1 | Latino Age Wave: Architects of
Change
SESSION DESIGNERS
• Therese Ellery, Rose Community Foundation, and
Carlos Martinez, Latino Community Foundation of
Colorado
By 2030, the Latino elder population will have
increased by 224 percent. Funders are grappling
with the challenges of addressing this demographic
shift, both nationally and locally. Aging services
providers frequently lack the cultural competence,
linguistic ability, and community reach to effectively
serve Latino elders and their family caregivers.
Simultaneously, Latino service organizations rarely
focus on older adults and may lack the resources and
the understanding to serve Latino elders and leverage
their strengths effectively.
Most communities are not prepared. Hear both
a national and local perspective about efforts to
address this Latino Age Wave. The Colorado Latino
Age Wave project will specifically share how it built a
movement through a multi-faceted approach that has
deep and broad implications for long-term systems
and social change.

How does your organization tell the story of the work
it does? Proper messaging is critical to expanding
the impact of the programs philanthropy supports. It
frames your work in powerful, compelling ways and
connects to the core ideas and values of your most
important stakeholders. This session is for anyone
interested in effectively communicating the work
they are doing in philanthropy. The session will
include an opportunity to learn about the key
features of good messaging and the chance to apply
that knowledge in a hands-on, small-group exercise

• Plenary Session | Elder Justice: Your Role in
Protecting Older Adults
A study from the National Institute of Justice shows
that one in ten Americans age 60+ has experienced
abuse in the past 12 months. To help ameliorate the
problem, President Obama signed the Elder Justice
Act into law on March 23, 2010, as part of the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act. The Act requires
the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)
to oversee the development and management of
federal resources for protecting seniors from abuse. In
this thought-provoking session, U.S. Administration
on Aging (AoA) Assistant Secretary Kathy Greenlee will
discuss the Elder Justice Movement and what, as part
of DHHS, the AoA is doing to strengthen protections
for older adults and dependent adults. Discover
opportunities for philanthropic organizations of every
size and reach to help combat this problem, both
locally and nationally.

New possibilities for expanding the role of technology
in intergenerational programs and practices are
attracting a great deal of attention from grantmakers.
Funders are increasingly interested in using
technology creatively to support new initiatives for
strengthening relationships between older adults and
younger people. This session will provide funders
with new information on how technology changes the
way intergenerational programs operate, the kinds of
outcomes they can achieve, and how technology can
become a dynamic, multi-directional tool to make
new connections between young and old, in order
to achieve enhanced human development, stronger
families, and more cohesive and caring communities.
This session will feature up to three California
Youth Jumpstart grantees of Generations United, all
involved in youth/older-adult technology programs.

MORE ABOUT GIA’S ANNUAL CONFERENCE
MEETING HIGHLIGHTS
GIA’s 2014 meeting has been designed
to showcase our venue and the diverse
viewpoints of thought leaders in aging and
philanthropy. You won’t want to miss these
special opportunities to take your conference
experience to the next level.
PLENARY SESSIONS
Our plenary sessions explore three hot topics
in the aging field: the power of technology,
the role of art in aging, and the importance of
protecting older adults.
GIA welcomes all types of foundations, grantmaking
organizations, and corporate giving programs
interested in exploring aging and philanthropy to
attend the GIA Annual Conference. It is recognized
as the best source of information for organizations
active in or considering grantmaking in the field
of aging. GIA’s conference is designed for everyone
at all levels of an organization, including donors,
consultants, staff, trustees, and directors—anyone who
cares about older adults and understands how aging
issues affect the whole spectrum of philanthropic
priorities, from health and education to community
and intergenerational issues.
GIA FELLOWS
DINE-AROUNDS
The GIA Fellows Program, initiated in 1999, provides
outstanding graduate and post-doctoral students
an opportunity to attend the conference and learn
firsthand about challenges and opportunities in our
aging society. Nominated and selected from a wide
range of aging-related disciplines, the GIA Fellows are
an important scholarly addition to the conference and
an investment in the future. During the conference, the
GIA Fellows will report on aging research within their
respective fields of study.
San Francisco is a foodie’s paradise. Enjoy a
great meal—and extend the conversation—at
one of the city’s fabulous restaurants.

CITY BY THE BAY
From Fisherman’s Wharf to the Golden Gate
Bridge to all of the great sights and sounds
in between, there’s simply no place like San
Francisco to get away from it all while you get
to the heart of ideas that matter.
American Society on Aging’s (ASA) mission includes
building diverse leadership in the field of aging so that
the increasingly heterogeneous aging populations
are engaged and served effectively. In partnership
with ASA, GIA provides scholarships for alumni
chosen from ASA’s leadership programs to attend the
conference and share their perspectives, while gaining
valuable knowledge about aging and philanthropy.
CONFERENCE GUIDE
Get the most out of the GIA Annual Conference by
planning for a Conference Guide. If you are a first-time
attendee, a guide can be a welcoming addition to the
conference experience. For example, your personal
guide could accompany you to the social events, or act
as a resource and sounding board for you throughout
the conference. Sign up for your personal Conference
Guide on the Conference Registration Form. We
encourage seasoned attendees to serve as Conference
