Every person — young or old, sick or strong — deserves to love and be loved. Inspired by the witness of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Aging with Dignity has provided peace at the end of life to more than 43 million Americans, trained thousands of healthcare practitioners, and partnered with over 15,000 organizations.
Your gift keeps Mother Teresa’s legacy alive by supporting our Five Wishes advance care planning program and strengthening our efforts to promote authentic, compassionate care by opposing the spread of physician-assisted suicide.
Together, we can create a world where every person experiences aging as a blessing, not a curse, where humans come first, and where you and your loved ones can finish life with confidence. Aging with Dignity is your right and our mission.
“I know no aging advocacy group more effective than Aging with Dignity. Their work is rooted in the God-given dignity of each person and love for the elderly and their families."
Arthur Brooks, bestselling author“I helped a patient fill out Five Wishes in the ICU and it was a great experience that left him in tears and on the phone with a brother he hadn’t talked to recently. Amazing!”
Marian Grant, palliative care nurse practitioner

General contributions go toward our areas of greatest need. These typically cover major capital costs like new IT platforms (our fivewishes.org site just overhauled its online store for a much better user experience) and travel for events or investigative video production. Donations for Five Wishes or Assisted Suicide Watch fund those programs. Aging with Dignity has never taken a penny of government funding and we have never changed the price of Five Wishes in nearly 30 years of operation. Your contributions have made us America’s favorite advance care planning organization and one of its leading advocacy organizations.
