NICF Individual Awards

The recognition of the accomplishments and influence of the men and women who have made a difference in the interfraternal fundraising world is an important responsibility of the NIC Foundation.  Foundations rely heavily upon dedicated professionals, helpful volunteers, and generous donors.  The NICF seeks to recognize those who have shown their support through resources, time, or funding.  

Nominations made be made by any individual, organization, or group.  There is NOT an application form.  A nomination should include a cover letter of endorsement from an NICF Member organization and any supporting materials/letters that the nominating party wishes to include.  Below is a brief description of each award.
