Nominations are being accepted for The Fred Lindner Prize: the prize will include a $5,000 investment in an exceptional individual who is defying expectations by channeling his or her creativity and talent to address critical social problems at the local, regional, or national level. The winner will also be able to choose the organization of his or her choice to receive an additional $5,000.

Today, thousands of people in the second half of life have opened up a next chapter of innovation, productivity, and creativity, and, in the process, have transformed our communities and our country. They are living proof that aging does not mean stagnation and decline.

The winner will be effective and action-oriented innovator who has launched this initiative after his or her 50th birthday. He or she may be working in nonprofits, government, or for-profit organizations devoted to tackling the hardest challenges of our time: homelessness, social justice and human rights, violence, poverty and hunger, health, education, and the environment, to name a few.

He or she will be making his or her impact in many different ways. The winner may be a social innovator who has started a new organization; a catalyst for change whose innovative approaches have transformed an existing organization; or a grassroots activist playing a leadership role in improving communities or advancing a cause. And he or she will hold the promise of even greater accomplishments in the future.
