The Justice Partnership Gratefully acknowledges the generosity of our sponsors, The Borchard Foundation Center on Law and Aging and The Commonwealth Fund.
Borchard Foundation Center on Law and Aging (www.borchardcenter.org)
The mission of the Borchard Foundation Center on Law & Aging is, through education, research and service, to help improve the quality of life for elderly people, including those who are poor or otherwise isolated by lack of education, language, culture, disability or other barriers.
The Borchard Foundation Center on Law & Aging was authorized and created in 1998 by the Albert and Elaine Borchard Foundation, which is based in Woodland Hills, California. In addition to funding from The Borchard Foundation, The Borchard Foundation Center on Law & Aging is generously supported by the members of its Professional Advisory Board, who also serve on the Partnership in Law and Aging Program mini-grants selection committee. A five member Academic Advisory Board guides the academic research program and participates in conference planning.
The Commonwealth Fund (www.commonwealthfund.org)
The Commonwealth Fund, among the first private foundations started by a woman philanthropist—Anna M. Harkness—was established in 1918 with the broad charge to enhance the common good.
The mission of The Commonwealth Fund is to promote a high performing health care system that achieves better access, improved quality, and greater efficiency, particularly for society's most vulnerable, including low-income people, the uninsured, minority Americans, young children, and elderly adults.
The Fund carries out this mandate by supporting independent research on health care issues and making grants to improve health care practice and policy. An international program in health policy is designed to stimulate innovative policies and practices in the United States and other industrialized countries.
