Honor our 25th anniversary and invest in our future!
CoGenerate brings older and younger people together to solve problems, bridge divides and co-create the future.
In our first two decades, we helped change the norm from golden years to encore careers, from “graying as playing” to “second acts for the greater good.” Now we’re working to change the norm from generations apart to generations together, bridging divides and tackling problems that no generation can solve alone.
Your donation fuels the movement to connect older and younger generations by helping us:
→ Make cogeneration credible. We’re popularizing cogeneration as a word, a strategy and a movement through research, storytelling, a prize program, and a new book.
→ Make cogeneration doable. We’re making it easier for people inspired by cogeneration to move from aspiration to action with resources, best practices, and an accelerator for innovative cogenerational solutions.
→ Make cogeneration sustainable. We’re building a thriving movement of older and younger leaders taking the reins for advancing this work, sponsoring an annual gathering called CoGen Live, and launching an innovation fund.
Instead of a multigenerational future defined by conflict, misunderstanding, and isolation, with your help, we’ll help create the village it will take for all ages to thrive together in joy, understanding and action.
Thank you for making a donation to honor our 25th anniversary and invest in our future!
