Established in 2006 by Anna Holmberg in remembrance of her mother, the Laura Holmberg Award recognizes the “unsung heroes” in our community,  whose contribution affects the Women’s Fund’s core mission, focusing on women and girls, and who have done so in an unpaid capacity. That is, the work has not been part of the person’s professional role. Consider the award a Lifetime Achievement in volunteering.

On behalf of the Women’s Fund and the Community Foundation of Tompkins County, thank you for your consideration and nominations. And, of course, thanks to you and your organization for all the great work you do for our community! To learn more about the Women’s Fund, or the Community Foundation, please visit our website.
