The Council on Foundations Awards Program was established to recognize excellence in philanthropy and honor exemplary leaders for their dedication to exploring creative ways to advance the common good. This year’s ceremony, held at the National Museum of Women in the Arts on November 28, 2018, will recognize four distinct awards that exemplify excellence in philanthropy: the Distinguished Service Award, the Robert W. Scrivner Award for Creative Grantmaking, the Wilmer Shields Rich Award for Excellence in Communications and the Chapman Prize, a new addition to the awards portfolio which carries a $100,000 prize.
