About this foundation

Next50 is a private, national foundation based in Denver that works to create a world that values aging. The foundation uses a polycapital approach—grants, investments, policy, advocacy, and community engagement—to support economic opportunity for historically marginalized and geographically underserved older adults and the organizations that serve them. Its priorities include ending ageism, advancing digital equity, and supporting aging in place. Next50 publishes multiple grant opportunities (COR, Changing Aging, SUN) and directs applicants to a grant portal and staff meetings to explore fit.
