30th Annual Diversity Volunteer Awards

What are the Diversity Volunteer Awards?

The Diversity Volunteer Awards were an outcome of United Way of Central Indiana’s committee on diversity’s desire to recognize outstanding diverse volunteers within our local community. As a result, United Way partnered with the Indiana Black Expo, Inc. in the summer of 1983 to give the first six awards and host the first breakfast celebration. In 2012, 9 diverse volunteers were recognized for giving their time and talents to help people in need and serving their community. Their contributions to nonprofit organizations are essential and invaluable.

Who is eligible?

Volunteers who are racially and ethnically diverse who have volunteered on behalf of, or in association with, a nonprofit agency or community organization.

All nominees must have volunteered with the organization for at least one full year (12 months).

Lifetime achievement award nominees must have volunteered in the nonprofit sector at least 20 years.

Separate nominations may be presented for as many individuals as desired.

United Way of Central Indiana board members and volunteers are eligible. United Way staff members are not eligible.
