I recently attended a gathering of local nonprofit CEOs to talk openly about the unprecedented challenges our organizations are facing today — from tightening budgets and workforce capacity concerns to the growing needs in our communities.
While the conversation surfaced many real and pressing challenges, there was also a bright and hopeful theme that emerged: the opportunity presented by Baby Boomers.
The United States is currently experiencing the largest retirement-driven workforce transition in its history. Millions of Boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, are reaching age 65, and many are retiring or shifting away from full-time work through 2029. This demographic shift, while challenging for many sectors, presents a meaningful opportunity for nonprofits.
