Points of Light Foundation Invites Nominations for Workplace Volunteer Programs Awards
Deadline: March 18, 2005

The Points of Light Foundation is accepting nominations for the 2005 Awards for Excellence in Workplace Volunteer Programs.

The award honors a business’s overall employee/retiree volunteer efforts. This includes the actual community service projects, as well as the program policies and corporate vision that support those volunteer activities.

Award categories are: General Award, for companies with an employee volunteer program of more than three years; Fast Start, a special award for a company with an employee volunteer program of three years duration or less; and Past Recipients, award for past award recipients that received the award more than five years ago.

Any small, medium, large, or international business that has an established and company-supported employee/retiree volunteer program directed toward addressing the community’s serious social problems is eligible. A business can be a private or public organization. Awards will be given to employee volunteer programs that are organization-wide and reflective of activities serving all employees, not just those in one office location.

See the Points of Light Foundation Web site for complete awards program information and nomination procedures.
