Public funding for services to seniors has not kept pace with the increase in number and longevity of older adults. More so now than ever, many seniors need help with nutrition, transportation, health services and housing. The FOUNDATION ON AGING provides the ideal vehicle for private citizens, businesses, and philanthropic organizations to collaborate with the Riverside County Office on Aging to respond to the diverse programmatic needs of older adults. You may be surprised to learn that the senior population is projected to more than double by 2030. Use this Link to the Foundation’s 2022 Annual Report for accomplishment details and financial information.
The Foundation supports its work through donations and gifts. With your help, older adults who are vulnerable, at risk, and who may also be homebound, will be sure to receive the support to age with dignity, respect and independence.
Won’t you please help us protect seniors from the problems that can result from poor nutrition, lack of transportation and isolation?
Your contributions will directly help seniors in need. Work with us to strengthen, expand, and support senior programs.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY POPULATION PROJECTIONS
As of 2019, there were approximately 54.1 million adults age 65 and older in the United States, with one- fourth of those seniors living in one of three states: California, Florida, and Texas.
By 2060, that number is estimated to increase to approximately 95 million. This means that by 2060, 134 in every 1000 Americans will be 65 and older.
Also as of 2019, Riverside County is amongst the top three of the ten Counties in Southern California with the highest older adult population. According to the 2020 Census, the County’s population of adults 65 and older was approximately 366,000, or 14.8% of the total population. This number is projected to almost double by 2030, and almost triple by 2060 when the senior population is projected to reach 908,500.
According to the California Department of Aging, Riverside County is expected to experience a nearly 250% increase in its 60+ population between 2010 and 2060. During this same time period, the 85+ population is expected to increase by 700%.
The Department of Finance also projects that by the mid-2030’s, for the first time in United States history, the number of seniors 65+ will outnumber children under 18 years of age.
