The Jenco Foundation Fund is now accepting 2021 award nominations to recognize citizens of Appalachian Ohio who demonstrate visionary leadership in serving others throughout the region
The Jenco Foundation Fund at the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio celebrates people who, like Father Lawrence Martin Jenco, have made a difference in their communities through community service and visionary leadership, including through activism. Established to continue the work of the Jenco Foundation, the Fund offers individual achievement awards to recognize visionary leaders and volunteers who by direct, person-to-person action have worked to increase the dignity and sense of worth of individuals in Appalachian Ohio through creative problem-solving. The award is open to people of all ages serving their communities.
The Jenco Foundation Fund Committee believes this recognition is important to regional community development efforts and continues to encourage those who give of themselves and inspire others to volunteer in their communities.
Jenco Awardees serve their communities across many different areas, including arts and culture, community and economic development, education, environmental stewardship, and health and human services. What they all have in common is that their commitment to the individuals of Appalachian Ohio is not a job. It is a passion.
Eligibility criteria
- The award is open to people of all ages serving their communities.
- The nomination process for the Jenco Awards is simple and multiple nominations are welcome from the same nominator, as are multiple nominations for the same nominee. No self-nominations will be considered.
