About Us

Find out what we're all about.

The Alliance for Longevity Initiatives (A4LI), founded by grassroots organizer Dylan V. 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 only 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 V. 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 was founded at a pivotal moment, as groundbreaking advancements in longevity science highlight the immense potential for extending our healthspan. Yet, significant challenges remain like funding and regulation underscore the urgency of our mission. With a forward-thinking approach, we collaborate with academics, non-profits, longevity science investors, biotech innovators, and policymakers to overcome these barriers through strategic and impactful initiatives that reflect A4LI’s commitment to extending society’s healthspan.
