Jenco Foundation - Rewarding Visionary Leadership

Jenco Foundation: Nomination Process

Each year the Jenco Foundation intends to give a $5,000 Jenco Award to an individual demonstrating the heroic qualities evident in Father Martin Jenco’s ministry.

The recipient’s work need not be religious in the formal sense, but should demonstrate direct, caring action that contributes to the quality of life of individuals living in the Appalachian region. The primary focus of the foundation’s activities will be the 29 counties of Appalachian Ohio as well as the state of West Virginia. Nominees who live in this geographic region will be given preference in the awarding of grants, though exceptional individuals from other parts of Appalachia (as defined by the Appalachian Regional Commission) may be considered. The Jenco Foundation does not fund project grants or organizational grants at this time. The award is intended to recognize individual work that has already been accomplished or is on going.

To nominate someone for the 2007 Jenco Award, please fill out the form below and click submit. Someone from Jenco will be in touch with you shortly for more detailed information. Nominations must be received by August 1, 2007.
