Why the MIROIR Foundation?

The MIROIR Foundation is a charity that invests in initiatives that bring joy and connections to older adults and alleviate loneliness. We match donors' funds to innovative programs that provide older adults with meaningful activities, programs, and opportunities for connection.

Joyfulness is critical in promoting wellbeing and is often underestimated in both research and policy making. As we age, options dwindle due to health, finances, and ageism. This shrinking world often leads to profound loneliness.

Communities ignite joy, empowering older adults, including those who face health challenges, to fully embrace what matters most to them. Whether it's connecting with others, diving into a good book, helping others, or staying active through exercise, these sources of fulfillment are made possible through communal support. 

We value choice and options, joy across generations, fiscal responsibility, bilingualism, older adults as drivers of change and diversity in moments of joy.
