ASA RISE: Advancing Equity in Aging
Grant Summary
Over the past three years, the American Society on Aging (ASA) successfully launched the ASA RISE program, training 60 emerging leaders of color who gained valuable skills, confidence, and knowledge, making a meaningful impact both within and beyond the aging sector. Building on lessons from the pilot phase, this grant will continue to promote equity through a modern and sustainable fellowship program to strengthen an increasingly diverse aging sector. The expanded 24-week curriculum will include a greater focus on ageism as a key component of equity initiatives. The grant also enhances the alumni program and supports the dissemination of content and thought leadership on aging and equity issues through ASA’s Generations digital media platform. ASA RISE is co-funded by the Archstone Foundation and the RRF Foundation for Aging.
