Submissions Now Open for Awards Honoring Outstanding Revenue Generation Efforts
Regional CPA and business advisory firm Eide Bailly LLP announced it is now accepting submissions for its 2014 Non-Profit Resourcefullness Awards, which will recognize outstanding non-profit revenue generation efforts in Arizona, Colorado, Minnesota, and Utah. The firm will give the following in each of the four states: a $10,000 grand prize, a $3,000 runner-up prize, and a $2,000 honorable mention prize.
The Eide Bailly Resourcefullness awards reward invention, creativity and sustainability while also collecting data about both the traditional and novel revenue generation practices that non-profits are using successfully. Submissions are due by Aug. 29, 2014, and winners will be announced Oct. 8, 2014.
“When you’re surrounded by non-profit organizations every day, you witness the extraordinary amount of energy devoted to thinking about and securing funding,” said Beth Bird, director of Eide Bailly’s non-profit practice. “These awards not only help us recognize those who are creatively overcoming barriers, but also foster the furthering of ideas and discussions to help inspire the industry.”
