The National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy invites you to nominate foundations for the 2015 NCRP Impact Awards, the most prestigious recognition for high-impact philanthropy.
Send us foundations that demonstrate exemplary grantmaking, leadership in philanthropy and commitment to diversity, inclusion and equity. You can read more about our nominations process, which will be open until February 6, on our website.
Now in its third year, the 2015 NCRP Impact Awards will honor four foundations in four categories: Large Private Foundation, Small/Midsize Foundation, Corporate Foundation and Grantmaking Public Charity. The awardees and their impactful work will be celebrated at a reception on Tuesday, May 19, during the Center for Effective Philanthropy’s Conference in San Francisco.
In 2013, we gathered in Chicago to celebrate the inaugural cohort of NCRP Impact Awardees. Watch a video recap of that exciting night, when we recognized the work of Novo Foundation, Woods Fund of Chicago, Levi Strauss Foundation and California Community Foundation.
Last year, we awarded another four impactful foundations: Ben & Jerry’s Foundation, The California Endowment, Hill-Snowdon Foundation and Liberty Hill Foundation. Here’s the inspiring sizzle reel from the 2014 NCRP Impact Awards, held in Washington, D.C.
Past NCRP Impact awardees have provided crucial support to organizations that catalyzed important advances for their communities in recent years such as securing drivers’ licenses for immigrants in Vermont, increasing the minimum wage in Washington, D.C., expanding access to affordable and quality healthcare in California and advocating for legislation that protects domestic workers in California.
Which exemplary foundations will be recognized in 2015? Tell us who you think they should be, and nominate them now.
