Welcome

The mission of the Friends of Wellesley Council On Aging (FWCOA) is to enrich the lives of Wellesley citizens age 60 and older by providing financial support for enhanced facilities, programs, activities, and other needs for the Wellesley Council On Aging.

2026 BOSTON MARATHON:
THANK YOU ROLAND ORDOVAS

The Friends of the Council on Aging extend our appreciation and gratitude to Roland Ordovas who ran the Boston Marathon on April 20th in support of the patrons of the COA. In spite of challenging temperatures and road conditions, Roland trained throughout the winter, and completed his run on Patriots Day in about 4 hours. He raised over $5,500 for the Friends that will be used to enhance the programs and services provided by the Council on Aging to Wellesley seniors.

Thank you Roland!

Encouraging Vibrant Aging

Wellesley residents age 60 and over comprise 22% of our town's population. Many of them look forward to new chapters in their lives. The FWCOA actively seeks donations and funding to assist the Council on Aging in providing programs and services to Wellesley's older adults.

Planned Giving Program

The Friends of the Wellesley Council of Aging and the New Era Fund introduce a new Planned Giving donor program in support of the COA.

Now you can help accomplish your philanthropic goal by making a planned gift to the New Era Fund and leave your legacy right here in Wellesley. Gifts of all sizes are appreciated and make a difference. You will be helping support a vibrant aging experience to enrich the lives of Wellesley residents for generations to come.
