Thriving and Joy

Through this pillar, McGregor supports programs and organizations that enhance the lives of older adults by fostering social connection, emotional well-being, physical health, lifelong learning, creativity, and meaningful community engagement. We recognize that healthy aging extends beyond the absence of illness and includes opportunities for fulfillment, belonging, and purpose.

Funding priorities include initiatives that:

• reduce loneliness and social isolation among older adults
• expand access to social, recreational, cultural, and intergenerational programs
• promote physical, cognitive, and emotional wellness
• support lifelong learning, arts engagement, and enrichment opportunities
• strengthen community connection and a sense of belonging

We are especially interested in efforts that affirm older adulthood as a stage of continued growth, joy, and meaningful participation in community life
