Entries Invited for Peter F. Drucker Award for Nonprofit Innovation
Deadline: August 15, 2006

The Peter F. Drucker Award for Nonprofit Innovation is given each November to three U.S. nonprofit organizations in recognition of an innovative, existing program that has made a difference in the lives of the people it serves. Peter Drucker’s definition of innovation — change that creates a new dimension of performance — is key to consideration for the award.

The award is accompanied by a first-place prize of $25,000 and two runners-up prizes of $5,000 and $2,500. The cash prizes are unrestricted and designed to celebrate and further the work of innovative nonprofit organizations in the United States. The Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management (<a href="http://www.cgu.edu/pages/130.asp">http://www.cgu.edu/pages/130.asp</a>) at Claremont Graduate University administers the award.

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. The program must be fully operational at the time of application, and the organization must be a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Only one entry per organization may be submitted. Past first-place Drucker Award winners cannot nominate another program until the third year after the year of their award.

Application forms and entry instructions are available at the Drucker School Web site.
