The Drucker Prize 2018 ($100,000 Award and more!)

The Drucker Prize (formerly known as the Peter F. Drucker Award for Nonprofit Innovation) continues to recognize the organization that best exemplifies Peter Drucker’s definition of innovation: “change that creates a new dimension of performance.”

Beyond the cash award, The Drucker Prize offers nonprofits a host of practical insights to help them become more innovative and more effective. Indeed, The Drucker Prize’s resource-rich learning platform blends the timeless wisdom of Peter Drucker with the thinking of some of today’s brightest management minds.

Their original content is open first to each year’s 50 semifinalists. Leaders of these organizations get to dive into specially designed mini-courses covering key aspects of innovation and nonprofit performance. While only one organization will win the $100,000, everyone who applies will get something just as valuable: powerful new tools for effectiveness.

Eligibility

• The only requirement is that the organization must be an IRS-certified 501(c)(3). A copy of the 501(c)(3) determination letter is required along with the application.
• If your organization is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) it doesn’t matter where in the world you do your work you may apply for The Drucker Prize.

Selection Criteria

• The Drucker Prize is granted to the organization that best demonstrates Peter Drucker’s definition of innovation: “change that creates a new dimension of performance.”
• In addition, the judges look for highly effective programs that have made a demonstrable difference in the lives of the people they serve.
• And, finally, the judges will take into account how much promise they think an organization shows to further leverage the discipline of innovation based on what has been learned from the resources on The Drucker Prize platform.
