Secretary of State Deb Markowitz is looking for applicants to the 2009 Vermont Centennial Nonprofit Awards program. The program was created to honor nonprofits that have been in operation for at least 100 years, and any nonprofit with a century or more of service is eligible for application. Applicants will be chosen later this year and award recipients will be honored at the historic Vermont Statehouse.
Secretary Markowitz said, The Vermont Centennial Nonprofit Award acknowledges Vermont's oldest nonprofits for enriching our heritage. This program deepens our understanding of how Vermont's nonprofits have enhanced our community life during the last hundred years.
It is important to recognize Vermont's nonprofits for their longevity," added Markowitz. It takes a tremendous amount of dedication to keep a nonprofit active for 100 years.
More information about the awards program is available on the Vermont Centennial Nonprofit Awards page at the Secretary of State's website: http://www.sec.state.vt.us/centennial_nonprofit.html or by contacting Ginny Colbert at 802-828-2148. Applications are due by July 31, 2009.
