Bank of America's Neighborhood Excellence
Initiative
Bank of America’s signature
philanthropic program, the Neighborhood Excellence Initiative, has
three primary components – The Neighborhood Builder Award, the Local Heroes
Award, and the Student Leaders Award. The Student Leader Deadline was February
29, 2008 and we will give 5 exceptional high school students the award in both
Hartford and Fairfield County.
The deadline for the Neighborhood Builders and Local Heroes Programs is June
27th. Below are the details of these two award initiatives:
- Neighborhood Builder Award.
For nonprofit organizations that have demonstrated significant achievements
in the local focus areas of the Bank of America Foundation. Awardees will
receive $200,000 ($100,000 per year for two years) and will participate in a
series of leadership development sessions.
- Local Heroes Award.
For individuals whose leadership and vision are making a significant
difference in the community. Winners will be able to direct a $5,000
contribution from the Bank of America Foundation to a qualified nonprofit
organization of their choice, and will be recognized in an awards ceremony.
ACTION ITEMS:
-
Please tell all the
nonprofit organizations in the Hartford and the Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk
metropolitan statistical area about both the Neighborhood Builder’s Program
and the Local Heroes Program and encourage them to apply to these two
programs. Nonprofit organizations are eligible to apply for both programs.
-
If you or any family
members know of any great volunteers or executive directors at local
nonprofits, please consider nominating them for the Local Heroes Awards.
This award is available to volunteers in Hartford County and Fairfield
County.
