Outstanding Business
This award honors a WNC business or corporation that demonstrates outstanding commitment to philanthropic causes through both financial support and motivation of others to take philanthropic leadership.
The nominee selected will receive the award at the annual AFP WNC National Philanthropy Day Celebration to be held on November 18, 2020, in Asheville. Attendance is mandatory (the event may be in person or online this year), and awards will not be given in absentia. You must obtain permission from the prospective nominee before you submit the nomination and confirm their ability to attend the event if selected as the award recipient. Adjustments will be made in accordance with current state and local guidelines regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nominations
Nominations are open to any business located in Western North Carolina. Nominations may be made by any individual or organization; membership in the local AFP chapter is not required. However, self-nominations are not accepted. Nominators cannot be employees or board members of the business or their family members. While nominations must originate from an individual or organization external to the business, supporting documentation may be provided by the nominee.
Award nominations are reviewed by the AFP WNC National Philanthropy Day Committee and recipient recommendations are made to the AFP WNC Board of Directors. The Board of Directors makes the final decisions regarding all award recipients. If an appropriate candidate/recipient is not determined, the award will not be presented for that year.
