The Renton Community Foundation is accepting nominations for the 2017 League of Extraordinary Givers Awards, which will be presented in February.

The League of Extraordinary Givers is a fraternity of recognized philanthropists whose passion for making our community a better place to live is accomplished through generous donations of their time, talent and/or treasure to a variety of nonprofit organizations and charitable projects.

Awards will be given in the following categories:

• Lifetime of Giving Award (Someone who has given of themselves to more than one nonprofit for over a decade or more.)

• Patron of the Year Award (Someone whose accomplishments stood out in 2015-16.)

• Rising Star Award (A younger or emerging individual who is making an impact in the philanthropic community.)

• Public Spirit Award (Organizations and/or individuals who have successfully brought multiple resources together to meet a philanthropic need.)

Nominating information is available on the Foundation’s website at www.rentonfoundation.org. Nominees should have a proven track record of exceptional generosity through their financial donations, willingness to help raise funds, volunteerism and/or community leadership roles, and by whose example they encourage others to participate.

Nominations must be received by the Renton Community Foundation by 5 p.m. Nov. 16.
