Leverage Colorado

Fundraise

Leverage is an independent, nonpartisan advocacy organization dedicated to making aging more affordable in Colorado. Leverage works to advance policies that strengthen economic well-being, expand access to opportunity, and ensure that all Coloradans can work, live, and thrive as they age. Through research, coalition building, and advocacy, Leverage aims to fill the gap between growing financial need and limited policy attention— turning demographic change into a force for economic and social progress.

Mission

To advance smart, equitable policies that make aging more affordable in Colorado

Background Statement

Colorado is in the midst of a significant demographic change that will shape the state’s economy, systems, and workforce for decades to come. The most predictable force influencing Colorado’s future is not technology advancements, climate change, or partisan politics — it is demography. Colorado is aging rapidly, yet many of our systems were designed decades ago for a much younger population. The question is not whether these trends and impacts will persist, but whether we can effectively position the State for strategic growth and strategic aging.

In 2025, Leverage Colorado was founded with startup funding from Next50 Foundation, a Denver-based national foundation that works toward a society that values aging.

While Colorado’s existing advocacy groups provide valuable services, none solely champion comprehensive affordability solutions for older adults. With Leverage, Colorado now has a dedicated advocacy organization focused exclusively on affordable aging to drive systemic change. Leverage unites policy, data, and community voices to make aging affordable for all.
