Sponsored by the Nonprofit Coordinating Committee of New York, theNew York Times Community Affairs Department, and Philanthropy New York (formerly NYRAG), the 2010 New York Times Company Nonprofit Excellence Awards will be presented to three New York City area nonprofit organizations for excellence in organizational management. The awards program is designed to recognize management excellence and encourage innovation among New York’s nonprofit community.

The awards competition is open to any 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Nassau County, Suffolk County, and Westchester County. National and international nonprofit organizations are eligible, but must focus on management activities in the New York City area.

Applications are welcome from small as well as large organizations, relatively new or well-established organizations, and any type of nonprofit, regardless of mission, religious affiliation, ethnicity, socioeconomic grouping, ideological perspective, or sexual orientation. In reviewing applications, the selection committee will take into account the management resources available to each organization in terms of funding, staff, and volunteers. Start-up nonprofits are eligible, but the application and awards process focuses on management track record and results, not future plans.

A total of $40,000 will be awarded to three organizations, with $25,000 going to the Gold Prize winner, $10,000 to the Silver Prize winner, and $5,000 to the Bronze Prize winner. Each winning organization will also receive a scholarship towards tuition at Social Enterprise Programs in Executive Education at Columbia Business School.
