The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) will issue Young Leader Awards to emerging leaders 40 years old and under who have demonstrated their abilities and show the potential for greatness. Ten awards of $40,000 each will be handed out in October.
But here’s the thing. RWJF doesn’t know who these people are. They need you to help them by nominating strong candidates by July 16. Complete information and nomination forms are available online.
In brief, RWJF is looking for people who:
- Bring others together to achieve more than what they could be done as individuals
- Apply learning beyond a single discipline
- Develop ideas into useful products, services, or policies
- Make a broad, sustainable impact
