2019 ICF Foundation Gift of Coaching Awards
Please review award terms and conditions below and then click on the "Submit a Nomination" button to begin.
The 2019 Gift of Coaching Awards will be presented in two categories:
- The Single Initiative category will recognize an ICF Chapter for a single, impactful nonprofit partnership initiative with pro bono coaching at its heart. To be eligible for consideration, the initiative must have launched prior to January 1, 2019. ICF Foundation Ignite initiatives are not eligible for recognition in this category.
- The Portfolio category will recognize an ICF Chapter for its portfolio of three (3) or more impactful nonprofit pro bono coaching initiatives. To be eligible for consideration, at least one initiative in the Portfolio must have launched prior to January 1, 2019. An ICF Foundation Ignite initiative may be included in the Portfolio.
As part of this application, you will be required to submit the name and email address of the primary contact person at your nonprofit partner organization. (If you apply in the Portfolio category, you'll be required to provide this information for every nonprofit partner organization that you include.) This individual will receive an automatically generated email from the ICF Foundation with a link to provide additional information regarding the coaching initiative. We strongly encourage you to contact this individual to let them know this email is on its way, and to collaborate on the form.
Application forms and completed forms from all nonprofit partners must be finalized and received via this online submission system by November 4, 2019, at 2 p.m. (New York). Applications that are not completed and submitted by the deadline will not be reviewed.
All applicants will be notified of their application status by January 31, 2020. The ICF Foundation will publicly announce the 2019 award winners in March at the 2020 ICF Global Leaders Forum.
