Applications Invited for Peter F. Drucker Award for Nonprofit Innovation
Deadline: August 3, 2004

The Peter F. Drucker Award for Nonprofit Innovation is presented annually to three nonprofit organizations in recognition of an innovative, existing program that has made a difference in the lives of the people it serves. The award program is administered by the Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management at Claremont Graduate University, Claremont, California. The award, which has been given annually since 1991, was previously administered by the Leader to Leader Institute (<a href="http://www.L2Li.org/">http://www.L2Li.org/</a>), which continues to publicize and support the program.

The award is accompanied by a first-place prize of $20,000 and two runners-up prizes of $2,500 each. The cash prizes are unrestricted and designed to celebrate and further the work of innovative nonprofit organizations in the United States.

The selected program must have specific and measurable outcomes; exemplify innovation by demonstrating a new dimension or standard of performance; have made a demonstrated difference in the lives of the people it serves; and serve as a model that can be replicated or adapted by other organizations.

Applications must be submitted by the organization responsible for the program; third-party nominations will not be accepted. The organization must be a U.S.- domiciled entity serving a U.S. population (information on the Canadian awards program is available at: <a href="http://www.innovation-award.ca/index.html">http://www.innovation-award.ca/index.html</a>) and be a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. In addition, the program must be fully operational at the time of application and must have been launched no earlier than January 1, 2000.

See the program’s Web site for complete application information, forms, and descriptions of previous award winners.
