There is a "best and brightest" in every field — a diligent person or group who goes the extra mile, who inspires others to flourish in their own right. Philanthropy has its own best and brightest and each year the Council honors their achievements and professional contributions. Our prestigious awards program recognizes philanthropic accomplishments, provides role models from the field, and strengthens the vision of the philanthropic sector.
