ethnicity, religion, region, and socio-economic status are the guardians of our values, heritage and traditions; and that they have earned the right to enjoy their golden years free of despair.
Overview
The National Caucus & Center on Black Aging, Inc. was founded in 1970 to ensure that the particular concerns of elderly minorities would be addressed in the then-upcoming 1971 White House Conference on Aging.
Since then, NCBA has helped protect and improve the quality of life for elderly populations, making certain-that legislators, policymakers, philanthropists, advocacy groups, service organizations, thought leaders, and the public-at-large include minority seniors in their programs, policy-and law-making, and giving.
NCBA is one of the country’s oldest organizations dedicated to aging issues and the only national organization devoted to minority and low-income aging.
NCBA is headquartered in Washington, DC. A501(c)(3) not-for-profit, NCBA is governed by a 10-member Board of Directors.
