Make A Gift To SGS

Supporting the Southern Gerontological Society (SGS) doesn’t have to be complicated.

Recurring donations are a great way to support SGS because they provide reliable, continuous support for our mission to improve the quality of life for older adults through education, research and practice.

By setting up a recurring monthly gift to SGS, you can make an ongoing impact with minimal effort. Just choose an amount, and your contribution may be automatically processed monthly.


Here’s how your monthly contribution can make a real difference:

$10/month – For the price of a streaming service or a couple cups of coffee, you can help fund programs like our student paper and poster awards.

$20/month – For the price of one lunch, you can help fund events like our educational webinars and fall advocacy forum.

$50/month – A nice dinner out could instead help fund the development of new resources such as our teaching repository.

$100/month – One night out could help fund innovative projects like these innovative projects that have received funding from SGS:

  • A web-based ending violence across the lifespan (eval) bystander training
  • A train-the-trainer program for Community Emergency Response Trainers (CERT) program trainers to better understand the specific disaster preparedness needs of older adult and vulnerable populations
  • A Pre-K – 2nd grade curriculum guide for cultivating positive views of aging
  • An app to help caregivers make decisions during disasters
  • A research project examining the role of activities related to cultural and geographic factors in predicting well-being in older rural African Americans
  • The adaptation of Culture and Ethnicity-Specific Caregiver Guides for Black and Hispanic/Latinx Families

Prefer to make a one-time donation or a yearly donation? You can do that too! You’re always in control—you can update or cancel your recurring gift at any time. It’s giving made easy!

Unrestricted Gifts allow SGS to allocate funds where they’re needed most. Whether it’s for immediate needs or future projects, your unrestricted gift empowers us to act quickly and plan for the long term.

By choosing to give regularly, you help SGS maintain its high standards of bridging aging research to practice. Your gift creates a lasting, meaningful impact.
