Purpose Prize
Category: Seniors/Aging
DescriptionCreated in 2005 by Civic Ventures, the Prize is the nation’s only large-scale investment in people over the age of 60 who are combining their passion and experience for social good. The objective is to highlight a diverse group of social innovators, whose stories represent multiple ways that people over 60, who are legal residents of the United States or its territories, arrive at and carry out important work addressing tough social problems. The program awards $100,000 each to five people in “encore careers” who are creating new ways to solve tough social problems. Encore careers are those that combine personal meaning and social impact with continued work in the second half of life. Nominations are welcome from any organization or individual with knowledge of a potential candidate. Self-nominations are accepted. Additional information can be found on the Civic Ventures Web site.
