CFA Nominations

Nominations for the 2025 Community Fabric Awards are now open!

The Foundation welcomes nominations from across our communities. We invite you to make nominations for the 2025 Community Fabric Awards in the following three categories:

• Community Fabric Award for Individual Leadership

Selection Process

To ensure fairness and an unbiased selection process, the Community Fabric Award Selection Committees consist of a past recipient, a female representative, and a minority representative. These knowledgeable committee members bring diverse perspectives to the table and ensure that recipients are chosen based on their demonstrated excellence, rather than being selected by the Foundation.
