San Francisco Foundation Announces Call for Nominations for Community Leadership Awards

The San Francisco Foundation is inviting nominations for its 2012 Community Leadership Awards.

The awards are designed to celebrate visionary leaders doing extraordinary work to strengthen Bay Area communities. This work may address societal or civic issues, health or environmental concerns, or promote the arts and humanities.

The awards program seeks to showcase individual or organizational excellence in leadership as demonstrated by outstanding initiative, impact of their work, and inspiration to others. The program publicly affirms present achievements and seeks to encourage further work on the part of the recipients and motivate others to follow their lead in service to Bay Area communities.

One of the awards is designated for an under-recognized, mature artist who has made a significant and ongoing contribution in the Bay Area. Artists from the performing, literary, media, and visual arts — including craft, folk, and traditional forms — will be considered for the award.

Up to four Community Leadership Awardees are selected each year. Awards of $10,000 are given to individual leaders, and awards of $20,000 to organizations.
