The Oregon Community Foundation Joins National Effort to Tap Baby Boomers
In Oregon, as in other states nationwide, the baby boom generation is reaching age 60. It’s the largest, healthiest, and best-educated group in history to move through and beyond their sixth decade. National research shows that tens of millions of people over 60 are looking to make a difference in their community. With a $25,000 grant, The Oregon Community Foundation, partnering and working with Oregon Involved and Life by Design Northwest, will study how we can take full advantage of this interest locally — identifying opportunities for older adults to help provide creative solutions to community problems, and for engaging residents over 60 in work that benefits the state of Oregon.
