Pyramid Awards
We believe in recognition.
The Pyramid Awards are designed to recognize the contributions made by nonprofit organizations in six areas: Collaboration, Governance, Inclusion, Leadership, Social Innovation, and Vision. Each of the recipients receives a commemorative award and is recognized during a luncheon presentation at CNPE’s Annual Conference.
