🌟What’s Involved In A National Philanthropy Day Nomination? 🌟

In case you’re not familiar with the nomination process for National Philanthropy Day (or it’s been some time since you submitted your last nomination), the process was streamlined last year to make it even easier to apply. Each category has 3-4 specific questions so it’s more nominator-friendly!

Some sample questions include:
🔹 Describe the philanthropist's participation with and support of other nonprofit organizations in the Western New York community.
🔹Provide evidence of encouragement given to others to take leadership roles in philanthropy and community involvement.
🔹Provide evidence of philanthropic support of innovative approaches to solving community problems and/or continuing programs.

📢 We also accept joint-nominations if your prospective nominee supports multiple organizations! Round up your industry peers to brainstorm how you can honor your donors.
