Thanks to Glenn McRae at the Intervale Foundation for alerting us to this funding opportunity:
The Lodestar Foundation is accepting applications for the 2011 Collaboration Prize, a $250,000 national award designed to identify and showcase models of collaboration among nonprofit organizations that are working toward achieving a social good. The prize recognizes collaborations that have been in operation for at least 18 months, have formal written agreements, and best exemplify the impact that can result from working together. Government entities may be partners in the collaboration. Each of the eight finalists will receive $12,500 and the winner will receive an additional $150,000. Applications are due Jul 16.
