2018 Local Focus. Lasting Impact.™ Collective Power Award Application
Collective Power Award Application
The Nonprofit Center is excited to announce the opportunity for nonprofit organizations to apply for the 2018 Local Focus. Lasting Impact.™ Awards. On June 21, 2018 the Nonprofit Center and Florida Blue will recognize the winners with outstanding achievements in the Social Innovation and Collective Power categories.
The Collective Power Award honors an unstoppable collaborative team that may include local nonprofits, funders, government, business, and/or community leaders, that has gone beyond serving a population and implemented systemic and sustainable improvement that solved big problems. This team achieved great system-wide results than one organization could have realized on its own and, as a result, established a new standard of excellence. In addition to being recognized as the 2018 award winners, the winning organizations will receive a film produced by, and through the generosity of, 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 21, 2018. Winners will be notified in advance and encouraged to bring their staff, Board members, and collaborative partners to the presentation.
