The Gelman, Rosenberg and Freedman EXCEL Award spotlights up to three outstanding nonprofit leaders in the Washington metropolitan area for outstanding nonprofit chief executive leadership. Candidates must show excellence in the areas of innovation, motivation, community building, ethical integrity and strategic leadership. The competition is open to any chief executive of a Washington-area nonprofit organization with an annual budget of $10 million and under.

Each award winner receives a $5,000 professional development account to use in their role as an organization’s chief executive. In addition, the winning organization receives a $2,000 grant to provide professional development opportunities for their staff.

Any individual meeting the competition’s requirements may be nominated. There is no fee to participate. Board members, staff members, volunteers, clients or community members can nominate chief executives.

If you have questions about the Award, please contact Susan Sanow, Center deputy executive director at susans@nonprofitadvancement.org or 202-457-0540.
