James Irvine Foundation Leadership Awards

Call for nominations:

The James Irvine Foundation Leadership Awards recognize individual leaders who are advancing innovative and effective solutions to significant California issues. We anticipate making four to six awards in 2009, the program’s fourth year. The leaders we seek to recognize may be working in any sector — nonprofit, public or private — and in any field, such as education, health, housing, economic development or the environment.

Award recipients will each receive $125,000 to support their work to benefit the people of California.

Nominations are due by January 16, 2009, and awards will be announced in the summer of 2009.
