Deadline: 21-Jun-23
NextFifty Initiative is excited to announce the Advancing Innovation in Aging Grants to invest in new and/or ongoing projects that demonstrate innovation.
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 Initiative is committed to social equity and expects grantees to demonstrate performance accountability that is free from discrimination on the basis of age, race, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, color, religion, national origin, disability, military status, genetic information, or any other protected status. In addition, NextFifty Initiative seeks proposals that focus on the most underserved in the aging sector, including but not limited to: communities of color, disabled, homeless, LGBTQ+, low-income, rural, immigrant/refugee, and other marginalized and/or vulnerable communities.
