The McNulty Foundation supports the work of the Aspen Institute Fellows as they innovate to tackle the world’s most challenging social problems. In 2017, they launched the Catalyst Fund to support promising ventures at a critical point in their growth, helping them scale up their programs and their impact. SDA was chosen as the flagship project to introduce this new venture to the world. Read more about this groundbreaking honor for the Hispanic Alliance in our McNulty Press Release.
The students who participate in SDA have multiple barriers to overcome in order to fulfill their leadership potential. Consider supporting them by helping us provide expansive programming and scholarships to ignite their futures.
