The deadline for submitting the essay is April 15, 2009.
"Today, our nonprofit sector is experiencing difficult times. However, we know the lessons learned will equip us for an even brighter future ahead. Nonprofit leaders and those committed to improving our community have great ideas about how we can strengthen the sector and we want to hear about them," says Karen Beavor, President and CEO of The Georgia Center for Nonprofits.
One winning essay will be chosen from submissions nationwide. The winner will receive the following:

All essays must be less than 1000 words, and should address how the nonprofit sector can be strengthened; what aspects of the sector need to change; and what new ideas and innovations must be implemented to help ensure the sector is a healthy and sustainable pillar of the community - now and for future generations.
