About the Organization

The Eisner Foundation identifies, advocates for, and invests in high-quality and innovative programs that unite multiple generations for the enrichment of our communities. Our competitive grantmaking is generally confined to organizations with 501(c)3 status in Los Angeles County and New York City with intergenerational efforts.

About the Fellowship

The Eisner Prize Fellowship is a new program designed to support leaders pioneering innovations in intergenerational connection.

Since 2011, the Eisner Foundation has awarded the Eisner Prize to honor people and organizations doing exceptional intergenerational work across the country. In this next phase in the evolution of the Eisner Prize, The Eisner Foundation is providing financial resources, networking opportunities, and the prestige of the Eisner Prize to leaders with new ideas and perspectives that will propel the field forward.

The Eisner Prize Fellows application is open to anyone working to innovate in the area of intergenerational connection – whether that be through research, programs, technology, or other efforts advancing the field. Young people, people of color, and those working with historically marginalized communities are particularly encouraged to apply.

Benefits:

For the 2024-25 cycle, Eisner Prize Fellowships will be awarded to 3-5 leaders in the intergenerational space, and each Fellow will receive a total of $50,000: a $10,000 stipend, and $40,000 to be used toward their particular intergenerational initiative.

Eligibility

Individuals can apply regardless of affiliation. Students, people working in nonprofits, government, or for-profits, or people unaffiliated with any of these are welcome to apply. Please note that the fellowship is for individuals and not intended to serve as a grantmaking program for nonprofits, so while nonprofit staff may apply and execute their project under the umbrella of their organization, the project proposed should be something new, envisioned and executed by the Fellow. Co-leadership teams can apply, but please note that the application is set up for individuals, so applicant teams will have to select one person as the main contact. The award funds would remain the same for each Fellowship, even if it’s awarded to a team.

How to Apply

The application for the 2024-25 cycle is open from April 24 to May 22, and questions can be reviewed in advance here.
