These awards have been designed to highlight and recognise the achievements of not-for-profit organisations and employees. You work hard, day after day, and that deserves a round of applause. By simply entering the Not-For-Profit Network Awards, your organisation will have the opportunity to evaluate and commend the hard work produced by individuals as well as group projects. Your organisation will also take a closer look at its methods for sustainability, and how to further its cause and reinforce the mission for why the organisation exists.

The Not-For-Profit Network Awards will be awarded to achievers from Australia and New Zealand. Awards have a strong focus on individuals, organisations, and projects whose actions help the organisation to be more sustainable, are focused on achieving the organisation's vision, and contribute to the organisation's success.
