Aroha Philanthropies and the National Guild for Community Arts Education announced the launch of “Building a Creative Aging Movement.” This multi-pronged, two-year initiative is designed to advance the emerging field of creative aging, which seeks to promote well-being and advance equity and inclusion through engaging the creativity of adults ages 55+. This visionary effort, which is supported by Aroha’s philanthropic investment of nearly $500,000 over two years, aims to foster well-funded, comprehensive creative aging programs through training and networking opportunities, leadership development and advocacy.

As part of that initiative, the Guild announced the opening of a third round of its training and capacity-building program, “Catalyzing Creative Aging.” Twenty Guild members will be selected to receive support in developing individualized action plans to establish and sustain their programs and will be eligible to apply for seed funding. The deadline for applications is Tuesday, August 6, 2019.
