LEADING UP AARP'S PURPOSE PRIZE<br />
CONTINUED...<br />
George Sifakis<br />
That's truly what's so transformational about it. And so, the founders of nonprofits are eligible to<br />
receive this purpose Prize, and winners must be over 50, and they must have been over 40 when<br />
they founded the organization. Are nonprofits the only eligible entities?<br />
Kevin Donnellan<br />
Exactly.<br />
George Sifakis<br />
Excellent. And you've been doing the Purpose Prize now and leading it up at AARP for six years; it<br />
seems like yesterday when we had the privilege of attending an in-person purpose prize event. Do<br />
the honorees have anything in common beyond meeting these basic criteria?<br />
Kevin Donnellan:<br />
They do; I would say tenacity is probably the thing most of them have in common. All of our<br />
honorees at some point saw a problem and then they went after it to fix it. Most of them also have<br />
a very personal connection to the work. For example, we had a nonprofit leader who became<br />
paralyzed in a skiing accident. She then went on to Spain to found an organization that provides<br />
specially adapted wheelchairs that allow people with disabilities to enjoy outdoor activities. It’s all<br />
of the folks involved like this that really made the purpose prize so special.<br />
