About the NAELA Foundation

Our Mission

The NAELA Foundation is dedicated to protecting the interests and benefits of older Americans and people with disabilities. Our work and your donations support our most vulnerable as they face continuous eroding of rights and benefits:

  • Legal and regulatory advocacy that enhances the lives of seniors and people with special needs.
  • Litigation and amicus ("friend of the court") briefs filed singly or in partnership with like-minded organizations.
  • Resources that educate on current topics and best practices.
  • Scholarships for NAELA members to attend conferences and seminars.

Who We Are

The NAELA Foundation is governed by a Board of Trustees solely appointed by the corporation. The NAELA Foundation Board of Trustees is composed of experienced, knowledgeable private elder law and special needs planning attorneys, public service attorneys, and professors, all focused on the Foundation’s mission and supporting the needs of older Americans and people with special needs.
