THE ECHO AWARD

The Winston-Salem Foundation and the ECHO Network wish to honor people and organizations that are building social capital. With the presentation of ECHO Awards, we hope to recognize those who personify the ECHO logo—building a stronger community by building connections among people.

Nominees for an ECHO Award can be:

Individuals or informal groups
Unsung heroes and heroines from our community
Community members who lead wherever they are involved

Award winners will receive a gift of $1,000 to donate to a charitable organization of their choice, hopefully one that is building social capital. Winners are announced at the Foundation’s community meeting each spring.

The deadline for 2012 ECHO Awards is March 2, 2012.
