Experience Matters Consortium

Connecting the skills and talent of individuals, age 50+, with social benefit organizations to enhance their capacity to solve community problems.

Founded in 2009 and recognized nationally as a groundbreaking initiative, Experience Matters engages the time, talent and experience of adults age 50+ to help meet the growing needs in the public and nonprofit sectors. Focusing specifically on the one million-plus older residents in Maricopa County, Experience Matters strives to prepare the civic and social purpose sectors in the creation of paid and unpaid opportunities for these experienced workers.

Our purpose is to develop and organize the marketplace that connects adults age 50+ to social purpose opportunities. Our vision is to effect lasting social change via a movement that changes the face of civic engagement and has the potential to transform the structure and sustainability of hundreds of nonprofits throughout Maricopa County.
