Welcome to the New Year!
In June 2014, NCRP and hundreds of our organizational members and supporters will celebrate the best U.S. grantmaking institutions for their work and achievements in calendar year 2013.
To that end, I would like your nominations for the 2014 NCRP Impact Awards. We want to hear from you: Which foundations had the greatest impact and made positive, lasting change in 2013? Which foundations took steps to lead by example, define professional excellence, and create a healthier sector?
Lift up America’s best grantmakers by nominating today!
Whom to Nominate
We are looking for grantmaking organizations (not individuals) that are maximizing the effectiveness of their philanthropy by:
- Attacking the root causes of social problems
- Empowering underserved communities
- Helping improve the sector as a whole through public leadership
