SAGE Affiliation

SAGE was incorporated in 1978 in order to improve the overall quality of life for LGBT seniors; support and advocate for the rights of LGBT older people; foster a greater understanding of aging in all communities; and promote positive images of LGBT life in the later years.

SAGE has been the leading force in the LGBT aging field since the organization was founded in 1978. As the oldest and largest organization of its kind in the world, SAGE provides the most expansive and robust service programs for LGBT older people as well as the most reliable, long-standing and visible advocacy platform from which to articulate the needs of this critically under-served population. SAGE delivers services to LGBT seniors in, advocates at the local and national level, and offers technical assistance to organizations around the country that seek to better serve and support LGBT older people in their communities.

We are proud to be an affiliate of this great organization. For more information on SAGE, go to their website at www.sageusa.org.
