Scrivner Award for Creative Grantmaking
The Scrivner Award for Creative Grantmaking was established in 1985 to recognize a grantmaker who has demonstrated outstanding creativity. It honors grantmakers who, with a combination of vision, principle and personal commitment, are making a critical difference in a creative way. The award was created as a memorial to the late Robert Winston Scrivner, former staff associate of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and first executive director of the Rockefeller Family Fund, by a number of his friends and colleagues.
In accordance with the wishes of the donors, the Council on Foundations administers the award program. A selection task force carefully reviews each nomination and determines the award winner. The decision of the selection task force is final and is not subject to review by the donors, the Council staff or its board.

DEADLINE EXTENDED - All entries must be received by February 7, 2013.
