About the Exponent Awards

The Meyer Foundation's Exponent Award recognizes strong and effective nonprofit leaders with a track record of accomplishment who have the potential for future growth and development.

The award program is part of a three-year, $2.2-million Meyer Foundation initiative, Rewarding Leadership, designed to stabilize and strengthen the executive leadership of Meyer's grantees, to increase the voice and visibility of some of the region's most effective nonprofit leaders, and to help them attract additional resources.

The award, intended for mid-career executives who may be in danger of burnout or who would benefit from a leadership development grant to take their skills and organization to a new level, honors up to five leaders each year. Organizations of reward recipients receives a two-year grant of $100,000 to be used for leadership development.
