Nonprofit Westchester’s Annual Meeting and Awards Ceremony is a joyous celebration of Westchester’s nonprofit sector. It is a chance to honor organization and individual changemakers that have gone above and beyond in their work to address the needs of our county’s most vulnerable members, and to recognize the work of the sector that furthers the economic, physical, and emotional well-being of all residents. Nomination Guidelines & Questions. Nomination Forms. Nominations Due: Sept. 22.

• Sponsor the Event - this celebration is not a fundraiser. Sponsorship helps NPW keep the cost of the event relatively low so all members of the nonprofit workforce who wish to attend can do so.

There is still time to purchase your copy of the Westchester County Compensation and Benefits Report. NPW members can purchase the report for $100 and nonmembers for $350. Purchase your copy HERE.
