Meassage from ANA Commissioner

Greetings ANA family and friends,

Each year, the Innovations in American Government Awards Program offers grants to creative and effective government initiatives. Do you know of an innovative program within your community that should apply for an Innovations in American Government Award? Applications are due next month for the $100,000 Innovations in American Government Award. Tribes are eligible for this award, and I encourage you to share this message with your community and consider applying for this grant.

Wopila (Thank You),

Offered by the Harvard Kennedy School’s Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation, the Innovations Award is heralded as the nation’s premier award for the public sector. It recognizes programs that demonstrate creative and effective government at its best.

This year, the Center’s Innovations Program will also continue to identify and promote promising government efforts and partnerships through our Bright Ideas program.

All units of government – federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial – from all policy areas are eligible to apply for recognition.

The top winner of the Innovations in American Government Award will receive a $100,000 grant to support replication and dissemination activities. Top finalists will also receive monetary grants.

Applications and additional information for both initiatives are available at: www.innovationsaward.harvard.edu

APPLICATIONS ARE DUE MARCH 1, 2012
