CES announces learning and innovation prize for charities
Howard Lake | 15 December 2010 | News
CES, the evaluation and quality systems specialist charity, is inviting entries to its new Learning and Innovation Prize.
The award aims to recognise organisations that use monitoring information or evaluation findings to improve their work and influence others. Entries are invited from organisations that have made best use of the information that they have, and made changes for the better, whether small modifications or significant transformations to the way that they work.
There are four award categories:
• small charities (annual turnover under £500,000)
• large charities (annual turnover over £500,000)
• funders
• organisations that support other charities.
Winners will have the opportunity to showcase their work at a celebration event in March 2011 and “benefit from an enhanced profile and positive recognition of their achievements”. Charities and support organisations will also win CES vouchers to the value of £1,000 which can be spent on consultancy, training and publications.
The judging panel includes Professor Nicholas Deakin, Professor Jenny Harrow (Cass Business School and the ESRC Research Centre for Charitable Giving and Philanthropy), Vandna Gohil (Voice4Change England), and Clare Thomas MBE (The City Bridge Trust).
The closing date for entries is 17.00 on 17 January 2011.
