Americans are living longer than ever before, creating profound implications for individuals, families, nonprofit organizations, and the philanthropic sector. Increased longevity presents both opportunities and challenges, affecting everything from retirement planning and healthcare needs to volunteer engagement, caregiving, and charitable giving.

Join us as Karen Wolk Feinstein, Ph.D., President and CEO of the Jewish Healthcare Foundation, explores how demographic shifts and increased life expectancy are reshaping philanthropy. Drawing upon decades of leadership in healthcare, aging, and community innovation, Dr. Feinstein will examine emerging trends, discuss the societal impact of longer lifespans, and consider how nonprofits and charitable gift planners can adapt to meet the needs of an aging population.

Participants will gain insights into the changing landscape of aging in America and the role philanthropy can play in promoting health, independence, purpose, and quality of life throughout the lifespan.
