Deadline: 22-Feb-22
Nominations for the Nonprofit Leadership Awards 2022 are now open.
The David Bradt Nonprofit Education Fund’s purpose is to provide an annual award that will enable a nonprofit leader in the Greater Washington region to attend an intensive executive training program.
Through investing in the leadership of the region’s most effective organizations, the David Bradt Nonprofit Education Fund will have a long-lasting, tangible impact on the community by enhancing the capacity and influence of those groups.
Grant Award Range & Use
- The David Bradt Nonprofit Leadership Award will grant between $5,000 to $15,000 for leaders to participate in professional development programs that will enhance their leadership, creative thinking, strategy, and management skills. The selection committee will prioritize applicants who wish to participate in cohort programs which will expand their professional networks while also deepening their skills.
- Awardees have up to two years to use the award. The award will be primarily applied to the tuition/fees of the selected program, but a portion may be allotted for related travel expenses.
- Once selected, the awardee must apply and be accepted to a leadership program. The awardee then will update The Community Foundation on the cost of the program and related travel expenses as well as any other aid awarded by the program itself. As a final step, the David Bradt Nonprofit Education Fund will make a grant to the awardee’s organization which will pay both the tuition and travel costs.
Eligibility Criteria
- Eligible applicants must currently work in a senior leadership role at a nonprofit that directly serves the Greater Washington region. Priority will go to applicants with at least five years of senior leadership experience in the nonprofit sector or equivalent leadership experience from government/business sectors.

Ideal candidates should demonstrate:
- Dedication to making a positive impact
- Passion and the ability to instill passion in the people with whom they work
- A collaborative spirit when working with other people and organizations as well as across sectors
- Drive to bring innovative ideas forward and to fruition
- High integrity and ethical behavior
