About the Awards
Nonprofits play a critical role in enriching
and improving the lives of people throughout the greater New
York City area. The 2008 New York Times Company Nonprofit Excellence
Awards will be presented to four New York City area nonprofit
organizations for excellence in organizational management.
The Awards recognize management excellence and encourage innovation
and communication among New York’s large and diverse
nonprofit community.
The NYTCO Nonprofit Excellence Awards is a project of The New
York Times Community Affairs Department, the Nonprofit Coordinating
Committee of New York (NPCC) and the New York Regional Association
of Grantmakers. NPCC serves as the tax-exempt sponsor of this
award. Additional financial and in-kind support is provided by
RSM McGladrey, Inc., The New York Community Trust, and the Surdna
Foundation.
Awards competition is open to any 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization
based in and serving New York City or the surrounding areas:
Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Nassau
County, Suffolk County and Westchester County. The competition
is free to all applicants.
Applications are welcome from small as well as large organizations,
new or well-established organizations, and any part of the nonprofit
sector, regardless of religious affiliation, ethnicity, socioeconomic
grouping, ideological perspective or sexual orientation. In reviewing
applications, the Selection Committee will take into account
the management resources available to each organization in terms
of funding, staff and volunteers.
Once an organization has received an award, that organization
will become ineligible to participate in the competition for
the following three years (e.g., the 2008 award-winner cannot
participate until the 2012 award competition).
