Smashing the Generational Divide: The Eisner Foundation’s Vision for Intergenerational Connection

Trent Stamp, the CEO of The Eisner Foundation, is determined to transform the way we think about aging. Rejecting segregated communities and nursing homes, he advocates for a future where generations interact, learn from each other, and build stronger communities together. The Eisner Foundation’s work funds programs that bring young and old together, fostering connection and purpose. Stamp’s mission is backed by research showing that intergenerational projects benefit both elders and youth. He believes this approach can combat ageism and lead to a healthier, more vibrant society where everyone has a valued role, regardless of age.

The number of Americans over 65 years of age has jumped from 35 million at the turn of the century to 50 million today. And in about 20 years, there will be more people over 65 than under 18 in America. Make no mistake about it. America is getting older, and one institution that is dedicated to improving the care of older adults is the John A. Hartford Foundation. And it’s a pleasure to have with us tonight their president, Dr. Terry Fulmer.
