Aging with vitality — free from the diseases that don’t have to come — is possible. And you can help make it happen.
We fund the science that predicts, prevents, and reverses chronic and age-related disease — research that is critically underfunded, and urgently needed.
“I want my grandson to remember his Nana who played with him, walked to the ocean — not the Nana who was always tired and sitting down before we reached our destination.”

Real People. Real Reasons.
Behind every donation is a deeply personal reason. Here are three of ours.
Why People Give
Gloria S.
83 · Mother & Grandmother · Maryland
I want my grandson to remember his Nana who played with him, walked to the ocean — not the Nana who was always tired and sitting down before we reached our destination. I support the Longevity Science Foundation because its mission gives me hope. Not just for myself, but for everyone entering later stages of life.
Anita J.
Mother · Cancer Survivor · Washington, D.C.
As a mother to a vibrant toddler, I found my world upended by a cancer diagnosis. Thanks to groundbreaking research, I received treatments that saved my life and allowed me the immeasurable privilege of watching my child grow and reach adulthood. The LSF’s dedication to scientific progress ensures that hope continues to grow for families like mine.
Debbie F.
Cancer Survivor · Longevity Advocate · Florida
As someone who experienced a cancer diagnosis 15 years ago, I support the LSF not only to learn about longevity science, but to fund significant developments that can save and change lives. True longevity is holistic — and the LSF gives me a curated roadmap for incorporating key principles into my own life.
The lifespan–healthspan gap — years lived in chronic disease — is growing. LSF funds the science to close it.

These are not proposals. These are active studies at two of the world’s most respected research universities — plus a pipeline of 31 additional projects reviewed by our internal scientific team and SAB against criteria including scientific merit, translational potential, and funding gap.
University of Oxford
Studying how diet-related methylation changes drive cardiac aging — and whether these can be reversed. One in three deaths are linked to heart disease. This research is working to change that.
“Every contribution to this effort makes a massive difference to us, and we hope it brings tangible benefits to the wider community.”

“As a child, my mother and father were both diagnosed with cancers. The reason I am fortunate enough to spend time with both of them today is because researchers and doctors dedicated themselves to understanding how to fight disease. Fighting to allow more people’s stories to have happy endings like mine is one of the biggest gifts I can give.” — Joshua C. Herring, President & CEO
