Aging Well: An Underserved Opportunity

Living well as we grow older is one of today’s most urgent — and overlooked — challenges. Yet less than 2% of philanthropic funding goes toward aging-focused solutions. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania’s 65+ population is growing faster than almost anywhere else in the country, and caregivers are feeling the strain in workplaces across the state.

At Surrey, we believe aging well isn’t just a personal goal—it’s a community imperative. That’s why we’re dedicated to creating a future where everyone can live with independence, dignity, and purpose, fully engaged in the life around them.

How Surrey Makes a Difference

With over 40 years of trusted service, Surrey is a trusted community nonprofit delivering a wraparound model of care — including transportation, nutrition, social connection, and care coordination. Our focus goes beyond basic care; we champion dignity, independence, and joy at every stage of aging. 

By investing in Surrey, you join a team committed to transforming how we age — helping older adults live on their own terms, stay connected to their communities, and access the right support before crisis hits.

We make an impact by:

• Keeping older adults active and connected — through classes, wellness programs, and social events that promote healthy aging and reduce isolation.
• Removing barriers to independence — offering practical services like transportation, home care, and care navigation while addressing financial hurdles to help people age in place and ease family caregiving demands.
• Building a culture of giving back — creating meaningful volunteer and leadership roles so today’s helpers become tomorrow’s supported.
• Strengthening the workforce and economy — supporting older adults who wish to stay employed and helping caregivers balance work and care responsibilities.
• Creating a safety net before it’s needed — ensuring resources, relationships, and systems are in place long before emergencies arise.
