What Do Colorado Boomers Think?

In January 2006, the front end of the baby boom generation began turning 60 at the rate of one every eight seconds, and will continue to do so until the end of 2024.

Will the 78.2 million baby boomers drain the federal budget? Will they settle down and retire? Or will they continue to be active contributors to their communities and to society? How will the baby boom generation change the way Americans and Coloradans grow older?

Two Colorado foundations want to know. The Colorado Trust and Rose Community Foundation are conducting the Colorado Boomer Survey to understand what the baby boomers want and need to live healthy, fulfilling and useful lives their 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond.

The Colorado Boomer Survey will provide the two foundations with information to help them, their grantees and their philanthropic partners plan future efforts that consider not only what baby boomers need to remain actively engaged in their communities, but also what they have to offer.

The Colorado Boomer Survey is open to any Coloradan aged 55 to 65. It takes about 10 minutes to complete.
