NEW YORK, NY — SAGE is proud to announce our 2024 Annual Report Visibility Matters. Our community knows that with visibility comes progress, understanding, and strength. SAGE is honored to uplift the stories and unique experiences of LGBTQ+ elders through our work every single day—ensuring they are seen, heard, and respected. Our mission is driven by the truth that without our elders’ wisdom and strength, LGBTQ+ people wouldn’t have the freedoms we take for granted today.
“Today, our community faces unprecedented challenges, but I am confident that SAGE is strong enough to weather the storm and make sure that our community’s elder pioneers are protected,” SAGE CEO Michael Adams said. “In 2025, there can be no doubt that SAGE is the national leader in LGBTQ+ aging and a beacon for our community and movement, standing strong through adversity, leading bold initiatives, changing the landscape, and expanding access to life-saving services and care across the country for countless older LGBTQ+ people.”
Throughout 2024, SAGE had a tremendous impact through our national advocacy work, which continues to effect policy changes that better the lives of LGBTQ+ elders. As we face the challenges ahead for the LGBTQ+ community, SAGE’s work is more essential than ever. This annual report showcases our elders, staff, volunteers, Board members, and supporters who help our community thrive.
