Support our Vital Work

It takes a village to raise a child. It also takes a village to support us as we age.

Just as investments early in life express hope for who a person may become, investments in aging affirm the value of who that person has been, who they are now, and what they still have to contribute.

The question is not whether we will grow older, but what kind of experience aging will be for us, our families, and our communities.

What Your Gift Supports

Your donation to the LeadingAge Minnesota Foundation helps:

  • Strengthen the workforce through education, training, and career growth.
  • Improve care and services by testing and scaling impactful approaches that respond to older adults’ needs and preferences.
  • Build stronger communities by connecting people with care, support, and opportunities for connection and purpose.

Together, we can make a better experience of aging possible for more Minnesotans.

The Gayle Kvenvold Commitment to Caregivers Fund honors the skill, compassion, and dedication of people who build their careers caring for older adults. All proceeds provide financial support to caregivers whose work brings comfort, dignity, and meaningful connection to the people they serve.

The fund is named for Gayle Kvenvold, who served as CEO of LeadingAge Minnesota for more than 40 years. It carries forward her deep appreciation for caregivers and her enduring commitment to caring for the people who care for others.
