EngAGE Founder and Executive Director Tim Carpenter was honored to receive his Durfee Foundation 2016/17 Stanton Fellowship award on Thursday at a ceremony at the Japanese American National Museum, Los Angeles, CA. The Durfee Foundation’s Stanton Fellowship provides up to six fellows with $100,000 each over a two-year period “to think deeply about the intractable problems in their sector, and to tease out solutions that will improve life for the people of L.A.” Tim will look for the next big idea to fuse housing, environmental design, and program design to benefit healthy aging.
