The CECP Excellence Awards
Honoring CEO leadership, dedication to measurement, innovation and partnership in corporate philanthropy, the Committee to Encourage Corporate Philanthropy (CECP) is celebrating the recipients of its Excellence Awards today, on National Corporate Philanthropy Day.  These awards recognize innovative philanthropic programs that inspire employees to donate over 200,000 hours of community service in seven months (Cisco), fund almost 100 schools or youth programs around the world (Grand Circle), and build and restore playspaces via a nonprofit and corporate partnership (KaBOOM! nominated by The Home Depot).

 

Since 2000, CECP's Excellence in Corporate Philanthropy Awards have been presented annually to companies such as GE, Novartis, Pfizer, Target, IBM, Merck, Arch Chemicals, Hasbro, Whole Foods Market and Timberland. The 2005 Excellence Awards Jury Selection Committee is composed of distinguished experts from the corporate, nonprofit, media, and academic communities.  

 

Leaders from the corporate, media, nonprofit, government, and academic sectors are coming together to honor these organizations at the CECP Excellence Awards Luncheon held today in New York City
