We are delighted to introduce you to the second group of CNE Philanthropy Champions!
By recognizing champions in our midst, who give generously in a multitude of ways to make our communities better, we seek to:
- Expand narrow definitions and understandings of philanthropy and celebrate the multitude of ways in which communities give (including Time, Treasure, Ties, Talent, and Testimony).
- Highlight the immense giving, agency, and creativity of philanthropic champions within our communities especially from underrepresented and marginalized communities.
- Help support and grow the nominated Philanthropy Champions’ work through recognition, publicity, and by making community connections.
