Eisner Foundation
Category: Seniors/Aging
DescriptionThe Foundation has launched the inaugural Eisner Prize. The Prize focuses on individuals and nonprofits utilizing and uniting multiple generations, especially seniors and youth, to bring about positive and lasting changes in their community. This national Prize is open to anyone or any group working in the United States. Potential projects could include a senior center and preschool housed in the same building sharing a staff for maximum benefits for all or a program in which youngsters teach homebound seniors about online social networking to reduce seniors’ feelings of isolation. Because the Foundation is a regional foundation based in Los Angeles, it is hoped that the winner’s program can be replicated there. Nonprofit groups may self-nominate. The Foundation will select 20 semi-finalists for the Prize who will be asked to complete a slightly longer application. From the 20 semi-finalists, five finalists will be chosen to receive $5,000. The winner will be selected from the five finalists and receive $100,000. Additional information and suggested programs can be found on the Web site.
