Pittston, PA - January 20, 2009 - The Northeastern Pennsylvania Nonprofit & Community Assistance Center (NCAC) has announced an application round for the 2009 NCAC Community Awards.
This awards event was established to highlight those nonprofit organizations that make an extraordinary impact on the quality of life within our seven county region, which includes Carbon, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Monroe, Pike, Schuylkill and Wayne. A first and second place award will be presented for each of the six categories including: Arts & Culture, Children & Youth, Community Development, Education, Environmental Action/Animal Welfare and Health & Human Services.
The 2009 NCAC Community Awards mark the third year for the Ted Daniels Community Development Award. This award category is memorialized in honor of Ted Daniels, former President of the NCAC Board of Directors and V.P. of Business Development for Pennstar Bank, who passed away on November 7, 2006.
According to Charles Barber, NCAC Board Chairman, “The foundation of any community is built upon the many nonprofit and community groups who continually offer new and innovative services that meet the ever changing needs of society. The Community Awards event enables us to recognize the accomplishments of many nonprofit and community minded groups that are all working together toward a common goal. They strive to improve the day-to-day life of all citizens in the region.”
Entries may be submitted by nonprofit organizations, political subdivisions, chambers of commerce, industrial development groups, school districts, colleges or universities, social clubs, business or industry, media organizations and other organizations involved in community improvement.
Award recipients do not need to be a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. First place award winners will receive a donation of $250 to $500 for their organization and second place award winners will receive a free NCAC membership. All entrants must submit a completed application form, which can be found at www.nepa-alliance.org/ncac.htm, to NCAC, 1151 Oak Street, Pittston by 4:00 p.m. on Friday, February 20, 2009.
