The Winston-Salem Foundation is pleased to present the ECHO Awards and The Winston-Salem Foundation Award annually to community builders who are nominated and selected by fellow community members. The 2013 award recipients will be announced this year at the Foundation’s May 1 Community Luncheon at the Benton Convention Center.
THE WINSTON-SALEM FOUNDATION AWARD
Established in 1996, this award is given to individuals who demonstrate the Foundation’s values of generosity, excellence, inclusion, and integrity as well as visionary leadership in a community activity or on behalf of a community organization. This Award is not a lifetime achievement award, but it is designed to recognize individuals who have made significant contributions within the recent past. Past recipients have led nonprofits, provided community leadership, and created opportunities for the broader community.
The recipient is selected by a committee comprised of members from various Foundation committees and the community-at-large, and will receive a $10,000 cash grant to award to a charitable organization of his or her choice.
The nomination deadline of March 1, 2013 at 5:00 pm has passed.
2013 ECHO AWARDS
The Winston-Salem Foundation and the ECHO Network wish to honor people and organizations who are building social capital in our community. With the presentation of ECHO Awards, we hope to recognize those who personify the ECHO logo - building a stronger community by building connections among people. (past ECHO Award recipients)
