Mission: Encore.org was founded on the belief that the aging of America isn't so much a problem to be solved as it is an opportunity to be seized. For over 20 years, encore.org worked to change cultural expectations for the years beyond 50 and spark a movement around second acts for the greater good.

Today, in our third decade, we are bringing older and younger changemakers together to:
1. Change the culture through new ideas and diverse voices on the power of connection across generations.
2. Accelerate innovation through fellowships that bring generations together to solve social problems, increase social sector, and create new multigenerational models.
3. Build a community of leaders, organizations and networks working to make intergenerational connection and collaboration the norm.

Encore.org is a 501(c)(3) organization, with an IRS ruling year of 1997, and donations are tax-deductible.
