The Hamilton County Community Foundation Community Pillar Awards honor individuals or corporations doing visionary work to solve pressing challenges, build opportunity and equity, and create a brighter future for Hamilton County residents in three leadership areas—mental health, family and youth empowerment, and inclusive economic growth. Because of their work, these nominees are pillars of the Hamilton County Community.

ELIGIBILITY

Individuals from any public or private sector and corporations in Hamilton County may be nominated and are eligible for these awards. Nominations for emerging and innovative leadership, as well as longstanding accomplishments, are encouraged.
