Philanthropist of the Year nominations now open

Two awards are given each year: one to an individual, couple or family in Bloomington-Normal and one outside of the Twin Cities, such as other parts of McLean County, or DeWitt, Logan and Livingston counties. 

Winners will be honored Nov. 12 at the Celebrating Local Philanthropy Luncheon at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, 10 Brickyard Drive, Bloomington.

Nominees must demonstrate outstanding civic responsibility, willingness to serve in leadership roles, provide vision and ability to involve others in philanthropic activity, and commitment of time and contributions of financial resources, according to a news release. Nominations must also explain why the person deserves recognition. 

The nomination deadline is Wednesday, July 31. Nominees can be submitted at ilprairiecf.org/philanthropists-of-the-year-award.

Current IPCF board members and staff are not eligible for nomination.
