Eligibility and Criteria:
Created by the WVNPA, the awards are open to any 501(c)3 nonprofit organization located in West Virginia. There is no fee to apply for the award. Organizations do not have to be a member of the WVNPA to apply. Applications are welcome from small, medium, and large nonprofits as well as new or well-established organizations. Organizations can self-nominate or be nominated by someone else. Awards are based on the organization as a whole and not on one specific program. Nonprofits are encouraged to re-apply the following year if not chosen. Past award recipients are not eligible to apply for 3 years. Winners will receive an award, be recognized at WVNPA’s Nonprofit Leadership Summit at Canaan Valley Resort, September 25, 2018, on WVNPA’s website and in a statewide press release, and receive one free registration to the annual Summit.
