Up to three finalists will be selected in each of the following categories by a panel of judges.

  • Nonprofit Organization of the Year (established more than three years ago)
  • Nonprofit Rising Organization of the Year (established less than three years ago)
  • Nonprofit Executive of the Year (CEO, president, executive director)
  • Nonprofit Board Leader of the Year (board member)
  • Nonprofit Employee of the year (paid staff member)
  • Nonprofit Volunteer of the Year (individual who serves the organization and/or community)
  • Nonprofit Business Partner of the Year (business who supports nonprofits and the community)

The Organization of the Year and Rising Organization of the Year will each be awarded a grant from the Cape Coral Community Foundation. Application submissions are due Tuesday, September 12, 2017 at 10 a.m.

Chatman said, “Those who dedicate themselves to nonprofit work are not motivated by recognition and honors. However, it’s important to celebrate their contributions in making Southwest Florida the best place it can be and let the community be inspired by those who, up until now, have served as our hardworking, unsung heroes.”
