Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.

This new initiative from PSI centers on a challenge facing community foundations seeking to expand their impact: how to evolve their business models from traditional “community bank” that raises, stewards, and disperses funds to transformational “community asset” that can successfully take on a growing civic role?
About the John P. McNulty Prize
The John P. McNulty Prize celebrates breakthrough leaders who have turned their talents and resources towards dismantling our toughest problems. Created in 2008 by Anne Welsh McNulty in honor of her late husband, the annual award is a call to action, recognizing three Winners demonstrating moral courage, a vision for change, and a track record of bold and lasting impact.
Each winner receives $150,000 and foundational support to amplify their efforts, and are selected by an international jury that includes former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, international statesman Olara Otunnu, international development expert Brizio Biondi-Morra, and Ford Foundation President Darren Walker.
The McNulty Prize Catalyst Fund recognizes ventures with significant momentum at critical junctures on their path to creating meaningful change.
Established in 2017, the Catalyst Fund provides unrestricted support to promising ventures led by AGLN Fellows. The Fund has received $1.2 million in contributions from David Blood, the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund, the Nancy & George Walker Foundation, and many more, as well as a matching grant from the McNulty Foundation, all honoring the legacy of John P. McNulty.
Catalyst Fund awards are available to organizations led by AGLN Fellows whose leadership ventures or Action Pledges are at critical stages of growth and development with significant momentum and traction. All applicants to the annual McNulty Prize, as well as former McNulty Laureates at a pivotal juncture, are eligible for Catalyst Funds.
