The Kott Memorial Charitable Trust aims to improve the livelihood of individuals, emphasizing education and medical services, with a special focus on services for the elderly.
The Kott Gerontology Institute, supported by the Kott Memorial Charitable Trust, provides paid internships to advanced graduate students in the Chicago area. These internships are intended to work with senior citizens, offering a full academic year of intensive training.

Internships are offered through a consortium of community-based agencies serving the elderly in suburban Chicago.
