Community Leadership Awards Nominations Deadline Extended Until Friday, March 6th

The San Francisco Foundation Community Leadership Awards recognize individuals and organizations whose leadership has made a significant impact in their particular Bay Area communities. This work may confront societal or civic issues, address health or environmental concerns, or promote arts and humanities. One of the four Awards distinguishes an under-recognized, mature artist who has made a significant and ongoing contribution in the Bay Area. Each year their peers nominate outstanding individuals and groups, and a panel of Bay Area community leaders selects the Award winners. Individuals receive $10,000 awards and organizations are awarded $20,000. Individuals and nonprofit organizations in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, and San Mateo Counties are eligible.

We invite you to nominate outstanding leaders in your community. The deadline for nominations is 5:00 p.m. on Friday, March 6, 2009. For more information about the nomination process and to access the online nominations form, please visit our Community Leadership Awards page.
