NPs Share Excellent Management Practices (New York Community Trust)
You could tell by the size of the crowd in the CUNY Graduate Center’s Proshansky Auditorium and by the whispers in the seats between panelists’ comments that attendees of The New York Community Trust’s 2015 Nonprofit Excellence Awards Best Practices Workshop and Awards Presentation were eager for information to bring home to their organizations.
The awards, created by the Nonprofit Coordinating Committee and managed by NPCC in collaboration with The New York Community Trust and Philanthropy New York, recognize an organization’s outstanding management practices in eight key performance areas as identified by nonprofit leaders across the country.
The New York Common Pantry, America Needs You and BRC were awarded the first, second and third prizes, respectively. New York Common Pantry is dedicated to reducing hunger throughout New York City while promoting dignity and self-sufficiency. America Needs You supports the economic mobility of first-generation college students by providing mentorship and career development programs. And BRC helps people reclaim lives fraught by challenges such as addiction, homelessness, and unemployment by restoring hope and dignity and offering opportunities for health and self-sufficiency. . .
