2020/2021 IOG Report

Legacy Partner

Baldwin Society (previously the Amercian House Foundation) raises funds to fill the gaps between government subsidy programs and services and the everyday items seniors need to remain independent. The Society also realizes the importance of research and education to understand and fill the long-term needs of older adults.

Baldwin Society sponsors research and educational projects at the Institute of Gerontology, especially the work done to identify and empower older adults who are vulnerable to financial abuse. Donations to the Baldwin Society support the IOG's OlderAdultNestEgg.com tools and information, and SAFE's no-cost counseling for victims of financial exploitation.
