Awards & Grants

Spokes believes that the power and value of the nonprofit sector relies on the dedication of the men and women who comprise it. We believe it is important for those men and women to feel celebrated and appreciated for the critical role they play in our communities. We honor these dedicated individuals through our annual Spokes Salutes Awards program.

Spokes believes in progress, not perfection. We believe in the value of taking little steps towards big results. We believe that we can learn from each other. We believe that we are all capable of continuously growing our leadership abilities. We honor those organizations that identify the hard problems and then do the hard work to resolve them through our annual Medal of Merit Awards program.
