A TRIBE IS BORN SERVICE AWARD

Nana’s Tribe Foundation is actively seeking proposal from individuals, groups, students and non-profits for our Tribe is Born Service Project Award.

CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NOMINATIONS FOR 2021

Nana’s Tribe Foundation brings seniors and youth together to eliminate isolation and bias through generational connections that fosters learning and inspires purpose. A Tribe is Born every time we courageously step into each other’s shoes and build inclusive relationships where everybody feels a sense of belonging. 

If you share our mission and believe in the value of creating generational relationships, we invite you to help advance this mission by designing an original intergenerational program or project idea that aims to eliminate isolation and age bias through generational connections that foster learning and inspire purpose.

Submission Guidelines: 

  • The program or project can be community based, celebratory or educational in design by: 

    – creating a new family and extending Nana’s Tribe 

    – reinforcing intergenerational connections 

    – Facilitating intergenerational communications 

    – Supporting generational learning through educational sessions 

  • Written proposals will be reviewed by Nana’s Tribe Board members—top projects/program submissions will be considered finalists and invited to present to a panel of judges. 
  • Finalists will be notified regarding the awards on the day of the presentation. 
  • Projects/programs will be funded up to $3,000
  • Money can NOT be used for operating cost for expenses which are related to the operations of a business, or to the operations of a device/ component, piece of equipment or facility, personal expenses or salary of employees.
  • Awards are offered as one-time funding
  • Winners are invited as guests to be honored at the annual fundraising Nana’s Tribe Chef’s Challenge Event each year.

Finalists will present to a panel of judges. Think Shark Tank format without the sharks! Judges will be comprised of community team members and Nana’s Tribe Board
