Community Builder Award Nomination
Nominations are accepted year-round and are reviewed throughout the year.
These nominees should embody the following characteristics:
- Minimum of three years volunteer work.
- Volunteer work is a model for others in the local community and has had a measurable impact in Prescott-Russell, Ottawa, Lanark and Renfrew Counties.
- Volunteer work is beyond the normal scope of their professional duties and is not a paid position.
- Nominees’ volunteer efforts in the community should closely align to United Way’s work – whether it’s supporting people with mental health issues, helping vulnerable seniors, giving kids the chance to succeed and more.
* We encourage nominators to mention if the nominee has uplifted and supported members of marginalized communities, including people with disabilities, Indigenous peoples, BIPOC, 2SLGBTQ+ people, and Francophone communities.
Please note: Due to the high volume of nominations we receive for the Community Builder Awards (CBA) program, not all nominees will be selected to receive a CBA. Should your nominee be selected as a successful CBA recipient, a member of our team will reach out via the contact information provided below.
