The Purpose Prize given by Civic Ventures is seeking nominations for the 2008 awards. These are cash prizes to individuals over 60 who have made a significant contribution to their community. This is the third year of the awards and the list is impressive. The reason I bring it to your attention is that we often don't take the time to nominate people we know for these kinds of awards. Independent Sector gives the John Gardner Leadership Award. The Pew Partnership gives the Civic Change Award. There are of course many others. I would encourage you to look around at those people--over 60--in this case but also of any age that are really making a difference and submit their information. We will keep you posted as we hear of things.
