Episode 9: Trent Stamp on The Eisner Foundation and What Makes An Intergenerational Program Successful
The Eisner Foundation -- started in 1996 by Michael D. Eisner, then-Chairman and CEO of The Walt Disney Company, and his wife, Jane -- gives an estimated $7 million per year to nonprofit organizations based in Los Angeles County.
