California Elder Justice Coalition

What California Elder Justice Coalition does

The California Elder Justice Coalition (CEJC) is a nonprofit membership organization founded in 2012 and headquartered in Santa Rosa, California, dedicated to multidisciplinary elder justice policy development and advocacy. The coalition convenes stakeholders across aging services, adult protective services, legal aid, healthcare, law enforcement, and advocacy to address elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation in California. CEJC operates as a sponsored project of Community Partners, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that serves as its fiscal sponsor. The organization is led by Executive Director Lisa Nerenberg, who also organized the National Network of State Elder Justice Coalitions (now the National Center for State and Tribal Elder Justice Coalitions), and Steering Committee Chair Donna Benton of USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology.

CEJC's core offerings are policy publications and educational resources rather than technology products. The portfolio centers on three Elder Justice Blueprints (2011, 2016, 2023), subject-specific toolkits covering restorative justice, undue influence, financial crimes, and other elder justice topics, and the National Elder Justice Advocates Academy webinar series supported by the Huguette Clark Family Fund. CEJC also operates an advocacy program (A*TEAM), a conservatorship study, and committees covering Policy, Membership, Communication, and Fundraising. The organization has received recognition including the 2018 n4a National Aging Achievement Award for a protocol enabling Adult Protective Services to request evidence from financial institutions.

CEJC generates revenue through individual memberships ($100/year), organizational memberships ($250/year), one-time and recurring donations processed via Network for Good, and grants from foundations including the Archstone Foundation (2023 Blueprint), van Loben Sels/RembeRock Foundation (Restorative Justice Project), and the Huguette Clark Family Fund (Advocates Academy). The organization also accepts cy pres awards and offers in-kind memberships. CEJC markets its mission through its website, LinkedIn presence, email newsletter, blog (Elder Justice Viewpoints), and webinar programming, serving California state and local policymakers, aging and elder justice professionals, family caregivers, and elder abuse victims.

Direct peers

• Justice in Aging: A California-focused nonprofit legal advocacy organization that fights senior poverty through policy and litigation. Highly comparable to CEJC as both operate as California-based advocacy coalitions targeting aging policy, professional education, and stakeholder convening in the elder-justice space.
• National Adult Protective Services Association (NAPSA): The national membership association for Adult Protective Services professionals. NAPSA co-developed the financial-institution evidence protocol with CEJC for which CEJC won the 2018 n4a award, making it a closely aligned peer in elder-abuse policy and APS practice.
• National Indigenous Elder Justice Initiative (NIEJI): A University of North Dakota–based initiative advancing elder justice in Indigenous communities and co-sponsoring CEJC's Restorative Justice webinar series. Comparable as a peer advocacy and educational organization working on elder justice with similar webinar and toolkit outputs.

Broad incumbents

• National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA): A federally funded national resource center dedicated to elder abuse prevention and response. NCEA is a direct strategic partner of CEJC and the closest national-level counterpart, providing subject-matter resources that CEJC distributes to California professionals.
• AARP Foundation: A large national nonprofit focused on issues facing older adults, including elder financial abuse prevention and litigation. Comparable as a broader, better-resourced incumbent operating in overlapping elder-justice and aging-policy areas.
• National Council on Aging (NCOA): A national nonprofit working to improve the lives of older adults through advocacy, programs, and partnerships. NCOA is a broad incumbent in aging policy with overlapping stakeholder networks and educational programming for aging-services professionals.

Others

• The SCAN Foundation: An independent foundation focused on transforming care for older adults in California and nationally. SCAN is comparable as a California-based aging-policy funder and thought leader that often funds or co-produces advocacy outputs in the same ecosystem as CEJC.
• Archstone Foundation: A private foundation dedicated to elder-abuse prevention and aging-related grantmaking. Archstone directly funds CEJC's 2023 Blueprint and operates as a peer funder shaping the same elder-justice advocacy ecosystem.

Regional players

• Institute on Aging: A California-based nonprofit providing services and advocacy for older adults and people with disabilities. IOA co-sponsors CEJC programming and operates in the same California aging-policy space with comparable professional-education and convening activities.
• Legal Aid Association of California: A California membership association of legal aid providers serving low-income communities including older adults. LAAC co-sponsors CEJC's Restorative Justice series and is a direct peer in the legal-services-and-elder-justice advocacy coalition that CEJC convenes.
