Eisner Foundation invites applications for Eisner Prize Fellowships

The Eisner Foundation identifies, advocates for, and invests in high-quality, innovative programs that unite multiple generations to enrich our communities.

The foundation invites applications for the Eisner Prize Fellowship, 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 nationwide. In this next phase in the evolution of the prize, the foundation will provide 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 application will be open to anyone working to innovate in intergenerational connection, whether 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.

For the 2025-26 cycle, the Eisner Prize Fellowships will be awarded to three to five leaders in the intergenerational space. Each fellow will receive $50,000: a $10,000 stipend and $40,000 to be used toward their particular intergenerational initiative.

For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the Eisner Foundation website.

Deadline: May 16, 2025
