A resourceful place

Nonprofit HR’s Blog




For several years during Women’s History Month, Nonprofit HR has recognized women across North America who have made significant contributions to nonprofits, associations, foundations, social enterprises and the communities they serve. Each year our staff have selected women who exhibit extraordinary leadership, unwavering dedication and impactful achievements.

This year, we would like to hear from you and we are calling on our expanded community to help us identify and recognize 10 women who accomplish the seemingly impossible against all odds.

The nomination period for 2022 is now closed. Finalists will be announced late March.

  • Generates significant impact on you or your expanded community through their endeavors
  • Demonstrates passionate commitment to a cause through their work
  • Is highly respected by their peers and is a role model for others in the sector

The following are helpful tips to make your nomination strong and compelling:

  • A response is required for all questions.
  • We will select the top 10 nominees. Nominations are valid for two years. If a woman is nominated and not selected, she is automatically considered the following year.

  • Nominations are not anonymous, but you may opt-out of having your name shared.
