Elder Resource Alliance
Elder Resource Alliance (ERA) is a coalition of organizations and individuals, within the Portland metropolitan area, that works to enhance the lives of older gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender, questioning and intersexed (GLBTQI) community members through education, advocacy, outreach and resource development.
Old Lesbians Organizing for Change
We are a national network of old lesbians over age 60 working to confront ageism in our communities and our country. We use education and public discourse as our primary tools. Everyone will have her older life made better by the work we do.
SAGE
SAGE is the world's oldest and largest non-profit agency dedicated to serving lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender seniors. Since its inception, SAGE has pioneered programs and services for seniors in the LGBT community, provided technical assistance and training to expand opportunities for LGBT older people across the country, and provided a national voice on LGBT aging issues. In 2005 SAGE became the first official LGBT delegate at a White House Conference on Aging. SAGE will celebrate its 30th Anniversary in 2008.

Elder Law Project Overview
Whether
navigating end-of-life issues, selecting a safe
assisted-living facility, or simply drafting a
will, LGBT seniors are entitled to full equality,
access to services, and basic protections and
access to information and resources to make
critical decisions.
NCLR’s Elder Law Project collaborates with legal
experts to identify where the law falls short for
LGBT seniors, attends important national events
on aging policy, and further works to advocate
for and remedy the legal landscape for LGBT
seniors. By making the needs of LGBT seniors
visible, we show the public that every generation
includes lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender
individuals who deserve to live out their "golden
years" with dignity, respect, and comfort.
