Petra Foundation financial awards - Deadline Feb 15

Each year since 1988 the Petra Foundation has identified and honored unsung heroes who are making distinctive contributions to the rights, autonomy and dignity of millions who are marginalized in America.

Petra Fellows, now 83 in number, work in 29 states, often at risk, and without the safety net of personal privilege or institutional support. The foundation gives fellows a no-strings personal financial award, publicizes their models for change and welcomes them to a national network of leaders working across the divides of age, ethnicity, class and issue to build a more just society.

Please read the guidelines carefully and note that nominations are submitted without the knowledge of the nominee by those who know the nominees and their work.
