Looking for name of natl. charity focusing on prevention & legal action against elder abuse--anyone?

Question

My fiancee and I are looking for 3 national charities that deal with prevention and legal action against abuse. We've found a great one for animals and could use a few suggestions for children, but we can't find anything dealing with elder/senior abuse. Apparently, that's not "hot" so no celebrities on board....But here are the criteria:

1. National organization

2. Must work toward prevention of abuse AND legal action against abusers (can be working to get laws passed/enforced)

3. Should be tax deductible

We're asking our guests to donate instead of buying gifts, and we'd like to put this stuff on the invitations.

Answer 1

I do not know of charities since there are government programs that usually handle this issue.  The department of aging council handles those situation..  Legal Aid also can prosecute and so can social services if there is known abuse.  The do prosecute those who inflict any harm to someone.
