Overview

Mission

The scan foundation envisions a society where all of us can age well with purpose. We pursue this vision by igniting bold and equitable changes in how older adults age in both home and community.

What it reported doing in 2024

The scan foundation's (the foundation) strategic framework for 2023-2025, focuses on four strategic objectives, as follows:1. Models of care: evolve models of care & financing so that health and aging supports reflect needs and preferences.2. Data equity: drive representation in data collection & analysis across the health and social care ecosystem.3. Financial security: improve older adult financial stability through income generation, and debt and savings management.4. Health equity: reduce health disparities and improve the lives of all older adults.during 2024, the foundation focused on progress across each of the strategic objectives above. As in the past, the foundation's grant-making is primarily for the benefit of californians. However, since care for California seniors is largely financed by the federal government (through medicare and medicaid), the policy work of the foundation also has a federal focus.
