The Be More Awards honors and applauds our community volunteers' outstanding but often unrecognized efforts. If you know a volunteer serving organizations in Bloomington or Monroe County, consider nominating them for a Be More Award using the online nomination form available at bton.in/bemore26.
Each Be More Award recipient will receive a $1,000 cash award provided by the Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County for the recipient's nonprofit organization, in honor of their outstanding service. All organizations must have a 501(c)3 tax-exempt status (or school or government equivalent exempt status) - no exceptions.
