Outstanding Philanthropic Organization (Large and Small Business Categories)

Small business is defined as up to 50 local employees.

Benjamin Franklin Award

AFP recognizes that it is impossible to establish awards that can meet every category of philanthropy deserving of recognition. For that reason the Benjamin Franklin Award has been created.

This award is not meant to be given out either by every region or every year. It is not meant to be a runner up award. It is meant to recognize an individual or group whose commitment to philanthropy is demonstrably profound, but which falls between the cracks of the award criteria.

The decision to give out this award is at the discretion of the regional selection committee. For the award to be given, the committee must feel that there are compelling reasons to recognize this individual’s efforts and that no other award would be appropriate. Not being selected as the recipient for another award is not a sufficient reason.
