Nomination Checklist

Your nomination is judged solely on how you answer the questions on the nomination form.

The judges will consider the following information to evaluate applications:
Review the quality of the partnership based on collaborative goal setting, strategic planning, and program development.
Analyze how well the program is integrated into each organization’s mission and how it adds value back into society and the business community.
Instead of worrying about the size of the program, consider the size of its impact:

- Show the impact through data—metrics and measurable results.
- Show how the program has benefited individuals, the community, and businesses.
Include all types of contributions—financial, intellectual, employee, in-kind, etc.
Be mindful of the word limits—tell your story succinctly.
Ask fellow colleagues and partners to review the application to ensure that information is accurate and thorough
Be candid. Let your passion and compassion shine through—telling a story which paints a picture can strengthen your nomination. Judges appreciate honesty.
