Committed to improving the lives of underserved seniors
The goal of EBFA is to improve the physical and emotional health of underserved seniors living in Oakland by supporting their basic needs.
EBFA works with our grantees to provide comprehensive services to seniors, particularly those who reside in Oakland.
Founded in 2009 with the proceeds from the sale of the historic Matilda Brown Home for Elderly Women in Oakland, EBFA seeks to improve and maintain the physical and emotional health of vulnerable older adults.
Northern California’s oldest nonprofit, The Ladies’ Home Society of Oakland operated the Matilda Brown Home from 1872 to 2007. The Society sold the facility and created this grantmaking entity to ensure and continue the legacy of service to seniors.
What We Do
The East Bay Foundation On Aging makes grants to local agencies that support the health and wellness of seniors living in the region.
From July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027, the East Bay Foundation on Aging will grant $555,000.
