Call for Entries: HUD Secretary’s Award for Public-Philanthropic Partnerships

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary’s Award for Public-Philanthropic Partnerships nominations are open. HUD encourages governors, mayors, and tribal leaders to nominate their philanthropic partners. Foundations can also apply for the award directly. HUD partners with the Council on Foundations on this award that highlights best practices in public-philanthropic partnerships. Applications are due on Friday, February 24, 2023, and HUD will announce the winners at the Council on Foundations’ Leading Locally Conference, in Denver, Colorado, in mid-June 2023. Below is a synopsis of the award.

“The Secretary’s Award for Public-Philanthropic Partnerships recognizes excellence in partnerships that have both transformed the relationship between the public and philanthropic sectors and led to measurable benefits in terms of increased economic employment, health, safety, education, disaster resilience, inclusivity and cultural opportunities, and/or housing access for low- and moderate-income families.”
