Spread the Word about the $100,000 Purpose Prize
The following request is from Vanessa Alabarces, a Program Associate of The Purpose Prize:
"Do you know someone creating real change in your community?
The Purpose Prize is accepting nominations, including self-nominations, at http://www.encore.org/prize until March 5, 2010.
The Purpose Prize provides ten awards of up to $100,000 to changemakers, 60 years and older, who are creating new ways to solve our most pressing social issues – from health care to the environment, poverty to education.
See who has won the Prize:
• Elizabeth and Stephen Alderman, who created a foundation that helps to treat survivors of trauma and terrorism around the world as a way to honor their son who died on 9/11.
• Tim Will who connected small farmers in his Appalachian community to chefs in Charlotte through an online ordering system, bringing jobs to laid-off factory workers and fresh, local produce to area residents.
Don't know someone to nominate?
Then help us spread the word by posting information about The Purpose Prize in newsletters, list serves, blogs, or by emailing your friends and colleagues."

This prize sounds wonderful. Too bad it discriminates against the young. I am 33 years old and transforming the Seattle region with a project called Seattle Innovators (check us out at http://www.seattleinnovators.org).
Great ideas come from everywhere. And the most exciting are emerging within the younger generation. We're going to need to be supported in our efforts too.
Best,
