Winston-Salem Foundation Seeks Nominations for 2018 Winston-Salem Foundation Award and 2018 ECHO Awards

12/19/2017
The Winston-Salem Foundation Award was established to recognize personal dedication in support of the Foundation's basic mission: to improve the quality of life for all individuals in our greater community.
 
It is given annually to a resident from the greater Forsyth County area who
has demonstrated visionary leadership in a community activity or on behalf of a community organization. This is not a lifetime achievement award, but is designed to recognize individuals who have made significant contributions to our community within the recent past.

The Winston-Salem Foundation Award includes a $10,000 cash grant to a charitable
organization selected by the winner. The recipient will be announced at the Foundation's Community Luncheon on May 2. Nominations must be submitted by Friday, February 23, 2018.

2018 ECHO Awards
The Winston-Salem Foundation wishes to honor people and informal groups who are building social capital, defined as connections among people, based on trust, that enhance cooperation for mutual benefit. We hope to recognize those who are building a stronger community by building connections among people.

Nominees for an ECHO Award can be:
  •  Individuals, informal groups, or organizations
  •  Unsung heroes and heroines from our community
  •  Community members innovatively building connections
Award winners receive $1,000 to donate to a charitable organization of their choice. Recipients will be announced at the Foundation’s May 2 Community Luncheon. To nominate an individual or group, please submit a nomination by Friday, February 23, 2018.
