The John P. and Anne Welsh McNulty Foundation and the Aspen Institute have announced the 2024 John P. McNulty Prize winners—courageous leaders tackling critical issues, from environmental injustice and disaster recovery, to addressing a national crisis of leadership and education. Each of their organizations will receive $150,000 in support of their exceptional efforts. Whether by building and sustaining a network of environmental justice champions, training a new workforce to enable recovery from disaster, or revolutionizing education and civic leadership for transformation in Haiti, these efforts are pioneering ways for communities to come together to tackle critical issues. The 2024 Winners are (pictured left to right): Resilience Force, led by Saket Soni, The Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program Job Quality Fellow; The Solutions Project, led by Gloria Walton, Civil Society Fellow; Anseye Pou Ayiti, led by Jean-Claude Brizard Pahara Fellow, and Nedgine Paul Deroly.
