Deadlines, Opportunities

The Drucker Institute announced a call for applications for the 2013 Peter F. Drucker Award for Nonprofit Innovation.

The prize is $100,000, thanks to a generous grant from The Coca-Cola Foundation.  Administered annually since 1991, the Drucker Award is granted to a social-sector organization that demonstrates Peter Drucker’s definition of innovation—change that creates a new dimension of performance. In addition, the judges look for programs that are highly effective and that have made a demonstrable difference.
