The 2012 Community Reinvestment Awards will recognize the work of financial institutions that advance solutions to strengthen small businesses. Nominations must be for a financial institution with a federal Community Reinvestment Act obligation, although the bank can be part of a larger consortium with other organizations. Recipients will be recognized at a special awards luncheon at the 2012 National Interagency Community Reinvestment Conference March 25-28, 2012, in Seattle, Washington. Winning financial institutions will receive three free conference registrations, which they can use for their staff or to sponsor representatives from partnering nonprofits. Three awards will be given in the following areas: technical assistance, lending, and collaborative partnership with a community development financial institution.
All nominations must be submitted by 5 p.m. January 13, 2012. Visit the call for nominations or to submit a nomination online.
