NYS Health 10th Anniversary Awards to Recognize Leaders Improving State Health
To mark its 10th anniversary in 2016, the New York State Health Foundation (NYSHealth) has created two special awards programs to recognize a total of ten influential organizations and/or leaders working to improve health in New York State.
NYSHealth Luminary Awards ($5,000 each):
The NYSHealth Luminary Awards will recognize up to five leaders who have made extraordinary contributions to improve the health of New Yorkers over the past ten years. Luminary Award winners must be employees of nonprofit, New York State-based organizations that are past and/or current grantees of NYSHealth. These leaders will be recognized with awards of $5,000 made to the nonprofit organizations that employ them. Luminaries may self-nominate or be nominated by third parties familiar with their work; all nominations are due by Tuesday, June 14, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern. View the Call for Nominations.
NYSHealth Emerging Innovator Awards ($25,000 each):
The NYSHealth Emerging Innovator Awards will recognize up to five New York-based nonprofit organizations poised to make radical improvements to the state of New York's health over the next ten years. The goal of the program is to identify and recognize new and innovative approaches to tackling New York's thorniest, most persistent health challenges. Award recipients will likely represent new partners for NYSHealth. They may come from a range of sectors that affect New Yorkers' health (e.g., transportation, arts and architecture, parks and recreation, planning, housing, education), as well as from traditional health care entities. Applications are due by Tuesday, June 14, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern. View the Call for Applications.
