Art With Elders Competitors

Generations United is the only national organization dedicated to bringing every generation to the table — in policy, in practice, and in community. For more than 40 years, we've led the charge on policies that keep children with loved ones instead of entering foster care, corrected inequities facing kinship families, and built the standards professionals rely on to bring generations together. We connect community-based organizations, policymakers, and families with the policies, partnerships, and hands-on tools that make intergenerational connection the norm, not the exception. Our approach, Prevention Through Connection™, keeps families and communities strong before a crisis hits and supports people of all ages. Because the biggest challenges facing families today — isolation, caregiving, and the cost of growing up and growing older — can’t be solved one generation at a time. Together, we are building a future where no one has to grow up, grow older, or care alone.

Founded in 1992, Creative Connections is a non-profit international cultural education organization that fosters global competency in children. We do this by creating and facilitating innovative arts-based exchanges between classrooms in the United States and their peers around the world. Creative Connections has expanded from initially working annually with 300 students to over 10,000 students today. We currently have school partners on five continents in 23 countries. In the USA, we facilitate programs in 114 classrooms across eight states.

Aging with Dignity is America's leading voice for dignity at life's end. Our Five Wishes advance care planning program has helped bring peace and comfort to over 44 million families and has trained tens of thousands of doctors, nurses, chaplains, and social workers. Our Assisted Suicide Watch program is the nation's leading research effort dedicated to exposing the harms of physician-assisted suicide. We were founded in 1996 by Jim Towey, legal counsel and close advisor to Mother Teresa of Calcutta.
