The Pyramid Awards recognize local nonprofit organizations for their outstanding contributions to our community. Each year, during CNPE’s CHANGEMAKERS Conference, awards are presented in six categories: Collaboration, Governance, Inclusion, Social Innovation and Vision. CNPE also presents its Lifetime Achievement Award, recognizing an individual for a lifetime of contributions and achievements benefitting the nonprofit sector. Join us on October 15th!
