The Eisner Foundation announced today that it would award $925,000 through eight grants in the second quarter of 2018. These grants follow last week’s release of a new Eisner Foundation/Generations United report on intergenerational shared sites, which demonstrated the large benefits of and need for sites that bring old and young together on a consistent basis. Two such sites, EngAGE and ONEgeneration, are among this quarter’s grantees.
EngAGE received $150,000 in program support to improve quality of life programs for more than 750 children and 750 low-income seniors through intergenerational arts and mentoring collaborations between affordable senior housing residents and schools in Southern California.
“We’re pleased to see high-quality intergenerational work happening in L.A. County,” said Trent Stamp, CEO of The Eisner Foundation. “Our recent report shows that intergenerational programs, especially shared sites, are both needed and wanted in communities across the country.”
EngAGE thanks The Eisner Foundation for its generosity!
