NOMINATIONS SOUGHT FOR BERKSHIRE NONPROFIT AWARDS
The Nonprofit Center of the Berkshires (NPC), in partnership with The Berkshire Eagle, will host the 8th annual Berkshire Nonprofit Awards on Tuesday, May 20 at Country Club of Pittsfield. The awards recognize exceptional work being done by individuals in the nonprofit sector.
“We’re excited to add a new awards category this year,” said Liana Toscanini, NPC founder. “The First-Class Fundraiser” award recognizes a senior development staff person whose creativity, dedication, interpersonal and storytelling skills motivate donors and board members, positively impacting the organization’s bottom line and impact in the community.
Nominations are being solicited from across the Berkshires in eight categories: Executive Leadership, Board Leadership, First-Class Fundraiser, Rock Star, Unsung Hero, Volunteer, Youth Leadership and Lifetime Achievement. One honoree in each category will be chosen by a panel of judges and profiled in a The Berkshire Eagle. Nominations are due March 12.
Those seeking tips on how to create a good nomination can find suggestions online, as well as samples of winning nominations. Additionally, one-on-one writing assistance with creating a nomination is available. These tools were designed to encourage more and diverse nominations.
The Nonprofit Center of the Berkshires is currently seeking sponsors for this celebratory event which is made possible by local businesses and foundations.
