“I value the awards and your contributions, and I mean that… We are at the receiving end of the very important services that you provide.”

-Governor Deval Patrick, MNN 1st Annual Nonprofit Awareness Day



“As last year’s recipient of the Governance Award it gave our organization immediate recognition with our community stakeholders. The award was widely publicized and helped the agency secure additional grants and other funding opportunities. Our Board of Directors were very proud of receiving the award. Our agency currently publicizes the award on our website and is also highlighted in our agency’s Annual Report.”

 

-Marty Martini, Executive Director of Minute Man Arc for Human Services, Inc.

MNN hosts the Excellence Awards to bring attention to examples of various contributions that nonprofits make across the state. With the media drawing attention to some negative perceptions about the nonprofit sector, it is important for us to highlight all the good work that nonprofits do for the Commonwealth. Our organization’s mission is to unite and strengthen the nonprofit sector through advocacy, public awareness, and capacity building services. These awards shine a spotlight on nonprofit organizations and individuals making a difference in their communities so that the public will be aware of the necessity of these organizations.

The awards are given out each year at a State House Ceremony held on Nonprofit Awareness Day.
