Individuals through their work in and on behalf of non-profit organizations are also eligible for recognition. Award recipients are selected from the following nonprofit sectors:

• Education
• Social/Human Services
• Health Care
• Arts & Culture

A fourth award, recognizing an individual or organization that has been at the forefront of addressing an emerging critical issue related to multiculturalism, will be periodically awarded.
