The Eisner Prize was awarded from 2011-2022 to people and organizations doing exceptional intergenerational work across the United States. The Prize included an unrestricted cash award. Our Eisner Prize laureates represent an incredible range of intergenerational programs, have inspired similar efforts domestically and abroad, and have made lasting contributions to our field. Their legacy continues with the Eisner Prize Fellowship program.
“As a society, we tend to believe that each generation is an insular one, and that the interests of each are unique and separate from those of others. But now more than ever, people young and old must join forces to address problems that affect both of their communities – and it is that spirit of intergenerational cooperation that we hope to foster with The Eisner Prize,” says Michael Eisner, founder of The Eisner Foundation. “We applaud everyone in this intergenerational field for their dedication and commitment in uniting generations for the enrichment of our country, and we hope that the work they do inspires others to take up similar causes.”
