2026 marks Next50’s 10th anniversary. Over the past decade, we’ve invested nearly $85 million in creating a world that values aging. We’ve funded partnerships that advance equitable systems, investments that strengthen economic security for older adults, and a growing movement to end ageism.
This year, we’re finishing what we started. 2026 is the final year of our current strategic plan, and we intend to deliver on every commitment: deeper investments, stronger policy engagement, and clearer measures of our impact. We’re also building what comes next. We’re growing our team and centering community voice to ensure our future strategy reflects lived experience and continues to meet the moment.
We’ll be marking this ten-year anniversary with purpose: listening, reflecting, and sharing what we’ve learned. A decade of impact is the foundation for what we build next. The next ten years will demand more of all of us. We’re ready. We hope you are too.
