The New York Foundation for Eldercare (formerly the Margaret Tietz Foundation) is dedicated to helping seniors enjoy healthier, safer, more productive and dignified lives, at every stage of a longer life.

The Foundation’s focus is to support programs that provide help for those who are beset by health challenges or frailty, whether living in institutions or at home, so as to help make each day of their lives dignified and comfortable. The Foundation also develops programs focused on enhancing community awareness and education related to issues affecting older New Yorkers. And, it continues its longstanding concern for the care and well being of Holocaust survivors.

The Foundation is primarily a volunteer organization and actively supports the power of collaboration with other community organizations.
