The Eisner Foundation announced $1,425,000 in grants to six California-based organizations. The foundation identifies, advocates for, and invests in high-quality and innovative programs that unite multiple generations for the enrichment of our communities.
“These organizations are creatively engaging different generations in vital ways,” said Trent Stamp, CEO of The Eisner Foundation. “We’re particularly pleased to see some longtime partners grow in new directions.”
