Mission and programs · 2025

• We grow the pattern - by catalyzing social innovation. We support innovators bringing generations together for mutual benefit and social impact. Programs include Campus CoGenerate, Faith Across Generations, the CoGen Voices Fellowship, and a program that strengthens youth leadership and democracy through intergenerational collaboration.

  Expenses $809,101 · Grants $50,000

• We show the pattern - to increase awareness of age segregation and lift up the benefits of age diversity. We work as a thought leader and catalyst to tell new stories about older and younger generations working together. We write books and essays, sponsor research, partner with media, speak out, and hold virtual and in-person events.

  Expenses $690,215

• We accelerate the pattern - by building the field. We identify, elevate, diversify and connect leaders of all ages working to bring generations together and advance the strategy of cogeneration.

  Expenses $291,905

As filed on the 2025 return.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
