About Us
Next50 is a private, national foundation based in Denver, Colorado. Since 2016, Next50 has been working toward creating a world that values aging.
Our WORK
It’s expensive to age in Colorado and the rest of the country. That is why we invest in innovative and equitable ideas that build capacity and change systems to create economic opportunities for older adults and the organizations that serve them.
We work with our partners by focusing on three priority areas of economic opportunity:
- Ending Ageism
- Advancing Digital Equity
- Supporting Aging in Place
Our 2024-2026 Strategic Plan

Our Values
Accountability. We measure outcomes for the goals we and our partners set out to accomplish.
Collaboration. We work with a wide range of partners and encourage those in which we invest to address aging expansively.
Innovation. We pursue pioneering ideas and are willing to take risks to advance our mission.
Leadership. We strive to be a trusted resource and respected leader in creating a world that values aging.
Learning. We reflect upon our successes and failures and disseminate those lessons to advance the field and fuel additional innovation.
Respect. We achieve impact through inclusivity as all marginalized older adults have value and merit access to aging programs and services.
land acknowledgment
We acknowledge that the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Ute peoples. We honor their enduring connection to this land and recognize the ongoing contributions of Indigenous communities. Next50 is committed to learning about and supporting Indigenous communities.
