We have been selected as one of five finalists for the third annual John P. McNulty Prize, awarded through the Aspen Institute. The award celebrates organizations making creative, effective and lasting contributions to their communities, and seeks to galvanize efforts to address the foremost social, economic and political challenges of our time. The finalists were announced at the annual Aspen Ideas Festival in early July. Please visit www.mcnultyprize.org for a short video.

The winner will be selected by an international panel of judges including former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and Judith Rodin, President of the Rockefeller Foundation. The prize will be awarded on November 4, 2010 in New York City.

We are very proud to have our model, our work and the impact that we have had in just three years be considered by this prestigious group. Thanks to all our employees, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters. It is an honor to be considered for this award alongside the four other very accomplished finalists!
