Social Innovation Award Application
The Nonprofit Center is excited to announce the opportunity for nonprofit organizations to apply for the 2019 Local Focus. Lasting Impact.™ Awards.

The team's sustainable solution has delivered results proving that it is more effectively and efficiently improving the lives of their program participants. In addition to being recognized as the 2019 award winners, the winning organizations will receive a film generously donated and produced by WJCT and a cash prize of $1,250.
The Awards, developed as a result of the Moving Forward Together initiative, will be presented at a luncheon during the Nonprofit Center Nonprofit Works Nonprofit Management Conference on Thursday, June 13, 2019.
