Winners are recognized each May at an event in Washington, DC.

WHO CAN APPLY? The application is open to individuals, nonprofit and community organizations, businesses, religious groups, and government entities, agencies, or officials operating in the United States.

Kaplan Fund is generously providing support for these awards in order to focus attention on successful integration initiatives, and to inspire and provide program models to others around the United States who might also undertake such efforts.
