What Is The Nomination And Selection Process?
Each attending voting/giving unit attending the meeting may nominate the non-profit serving Lorain County of their choice, as long as that organization meets the presentation criteria.
Three non-profit organizations will be chosen from those nominated by the attending voting/giving units for presentation at the meeting.
The members of the voting/giving unit who submitted the non-profit organization that is under consideration will be given 3-5 minutes to make a presentation at the meeting. A short Q and A will follow each presentation.
If a non-profit organization is not the one selected, said organization can be resubmitted at another meeting.
What Non-Profit Organizations Can Be Nominated?
All non-profit organizations submitted for consideration must be a non-profit organization recognized as a 501(c) (3) that serves Lorain County.
A 501(c)(3) is defined as “exemptions apply to corporations, and any community chest, fund or foundation, organized and operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, testing for public safety, literary, educational purposes, to foster national or international amateur sports competition, promote the arts, or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals.”
