Through September 30th, the Brooklyn Community Foundation is accepting nominations from the public for Brooklyn Do Gooders at www.dogoodrighthere.org.
All Nominees should work in one of the Foundation's five areas of interest: Arts for All, Caring Neighbors, Community Development, Education and Youth Achievement and Green Communities and have demonstrated a commitment to Brooklyn.
From October 1st - October 15, the public is invited to vote online for their favorite Do Gooders. [..] Each winner will receive an award and $5,000 to be used as a reinvestment in a recognized 501(c)3 charitable entity working in Brooklyn and be publicly recognized at an event on November 3.
Even if our nominations don't get the award, it would be a lovely way to hear from neighbors about neighbors doing good things, and give them a bit of recognition and a public thanks!
