Eisner Prize Fellowship 2024

The 2024  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 of Eisner Prize Fellowship 2024

• 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. 
• 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.
