Platinum Achievement Awards
Grant Opportunity: Deadline April 26, 2019
Accepting Applications
As the Community Foundation celebrates its 20th anniversary and 3rd year implementing the Faces of Loudoun campaign, we invite proposals for an inaugural Platinum Achievement Award.
Three nonprofit organizations demonstrating significant internal innovation and improved operational achievement will be selected as recipients of a 2019 Platinum Achievement Award. In addition to being recognized as a nonprofit accomplishing significant achievement, each organization selected for this award will receive a $2,000 grant.
The Platinum Achievement Award is made possible by Wells Fargo and donors who have made gifts to the Community Foundation inspired by and from the Faces of Loudoun website and community service campaign (FacesofLoudoun.org). Launched in 2017, the Faces of Loudoun campaign is designed to raise awareness about local needs facing Loudoun County, increase charitable giving and volunteerism, and celebrate local nonprofit leaders and volunteers.
