How do I nominate someone?
A nomination is a great way to recognize those people and groups that make your organization successful. From April 1st until June 30th, 2012 we will be accepting nominations online. The form is short, sweet and to the point. All we need is contact details for you and your nominee, as well as a brief description of your relationship with the nominee and the impact they've had on your organization.
How will the nominees be recognized?
Nominees will be celebrated and recognized at both the Nominee Reception and the National Philanthropy Day Luncheon. The Nominee Reception is an intimate event to celebrate the nominees and recognize their achievements with a National Philanthropy Day Award. At the luncheon, nominee's stories will be shared in the paper program provided to each individual at the luncheon, as well as during the luncheon program.
What are the expectations of the nominator and nominees?
The expectations are simple – be a part of the celebrations! This means that attendance of both the nominator and nominee is required at the Nominee Reception and the National Philanthropy Day Luncheon. As the nominator, it is your responsibility to:
- Notify the nominee of the nomination and gain their consent to put their name forward
- Communicate both events to your nominee and ensure that they will be available to attend
