About Us
Find out what we're all about.
The Alliance for Longevity Initiatives (A4LI), founded by grassroots organizer Dylan Livingston in 2022, is the first 501(c)(4) nonprofit dedicated to advancing social and political action to combat age-related diseases and promote longer, healthier lives.
Who Are We
Political advocacy to increase healthy human lifespan
The Alliance for Longevity Initiatives (A4LI) proudly stands as the inaugural 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization specifically created to ignite social and political action focused on mitigating age-related diseases and fostering an increase in our healthy, active years. Visionary founder Dylan Livingston, leveraging his rich background as a grassroots political organizer, launched A4LI in 2022 in response to the burgeoning call for legislative advocacy within the rapidly evolving longevity sector.
A4LI’s inception comes at a pivotal moment when breakthroughs in science and surges in funding have primed the industry for transformation. With an eye on the future, we endeavor to align with healthcare pioneers and thought leaders within the realms of geroscience and policy-making. Our mission is to ensure that the initiatives we advance are strategic and impactful, designed to realize A4LI’s commitment to extending the healthspan of society.
