Eisner Prize Site Visit


Trent & Donna
 Many thanks to Eisner Foundation's Trent Stamp, executive director, and Cathy Choi, program officer, for visiting Generations United's world headquarters! We were elated when we were recently named one of five finalists for the inaugural $100,000 Eisner Prize for Intergenerational Excellence. As part of the process, Trent and Cathy came by today to learn more about our work and present us with a check for $5,000.  The winner will be determined in September and the award will be presented at the Grantmakers in Aging conference in October. While we would love to win, we are simply honored to be one of the finalists along with our four terrific friends-Experience Corps, the Intergenerational Center at Temple University, DOROT and Ebenezer Ridges. The Eisner family and foundation staff deserve our deepest gratitude for conceiving of the idea for the prize and for their commitment to inspiring quality intergenerational practices. For more information and to watch the progress of the prize, go to http://www.eisnerfoundation.org/. Best, Donna
