We believe working with older adults brings invaluable experience, wisdom, and leadership to the workforce and broader community.
This pillar supports organizations that create pathways for individuals to engage in meaningful work, volunteerism, leadership, mentorship, and civic contribution with the older adult population. Whether through paid employment, encore careers, or service opportunities, we seek to invest in models that help individuals find career paths by which they work with and support older adults.
Funding priorities include initiatives that:
support workforce career transitions
provide workforce development, digital literacy, and upskilling opportunities
create mentorship and intergenerational knowledge-sharing opportunities
expand volunteer and civic leadership pathways that provide meaning and purpose
We value programs that recognize purpose and contribution as essential components of well-being and employment.
