Why Philanthropy Matters to the Future of Aging, with Peter Kaldes

AgingIN CEO Susan Ryan sits down with Peter Kaldes, president and CEO of the Next50 Foundation, to explore how philanthropy can help transform the future of aging.  Peter shares his unconventional journey from attorney and public policy leader to one of the nation's leading advocates for older adults. He discusses Next50's mission to end ageism while investing in innovative solutions that help people age well. Their conversation examines the critical role philanthropy plays in advancing aging services, the need for greater investment in digital inclusion, housing, and community-based supports, and why only a small fraction of charitable giving currently benefits older adults.  Peter also reflects on his personal caregiving experiences, the importance of reimagining systems that support aging, and the launch of his podcast, "The Future Is Old," which challenges outdated stereotypes and celebrates the opportunities of an aging society.
