Size of the Grant: $250,000

Details:
Innovation isn’t just something to invest in and support. It also shows up in the ways in which they choose to fund, invest, connect, operate, and demonstrate impact. They are excited by initiatives they find new or innovative, but they also value what you, your organization, and the communities you serve find to be innovative. As you consider this funding opportunity, think about innovation broadly – what you want to do or what you’re already doing that explores a new, different, or better way to support older adults or address aging issues.
Advancing Innovation in Aging grants allow NextFifty Initiative to invest in new and/or ongoing projects that demonstrate innovation as they are defined it above. They want to partner with visionaries, community leaders, and educators to fuel ideas that drive improvements to the experience of aging and explore advancements in longevity in Colorado and across the nation.
NextFifty will consider requests for:
- Project-based support for new and/or existing innovative projects or initiatives aiming to better the lives of older adults
- Organizations seeking to expand services into the aging space for the first time.
Requests are strengthened by:
- An intentional focus on a historically marginalized community or communities
- A clear possibility for sustainability, scalability, and replicability
- Additional planned or committed sources of funding (especially for larger requests).
Funding Information
- While there is no maximum request amount (and partial funding may be awarded), organizations planning to request $250,000.
