AIMS Colorado
AIMS Colorado strives to transform the future of the state's aging workforce by helping employers to implement strategies to recruit and retain experienced employees (age 50+). This state project assesses how Colorado's employers are addressing the needs and preferences of experienced employees, disseminates and facilitates implementation of best practices for becoming an age-friendly employer, and initiates a state-wide public awareness campaign of pathways to success. It was multi-year project running from 2019 to 2022, and previously named Colorado's Above-Fifty Employment Strategies or CAFES.

Next50 is a Colorado-based national foundation that works toward a society that values aging and makes growing older an empowering, fulfilling experience. Today, our systems in the U.S. don't prioritize our economic well-being as we age, which causes widespread economic hardship for older adults and their families. That's why we focus on funding innovative and equitable programs that create economic opportunity for older adults, especially in low-income communities and communities of color. We fund programming in three key areas: ending age-related bias and discrimination; advancing digital equity so technology is available to all; and making it possible for people to age where they want to live. www.next50foundation.org
