Achievement Awards Eligibility Guidelines

Please review the following eligibility guidelines before submitting an award nomination to ensure your nominee is positioned for success. The Achievement Awards FAQs are also a great resource.

Eligibility

• Achievement Awards submissions are for accomplishments demonstrated for at least one year prior to the time of nomination.
• You may submit a nomination for multiple awards. However, your NPA may only submit one nomination per award and you cannot nominate the same person or organization for different awards.
  • For example, you may submit a nomination for the Evelyne Villines Award, the Honor Roll for Veterans Award, the Business Partnership Award, and the Military Customer Award (or any combination of awards) as long as you only submit one nomination per award and you are nominating a different individual or organization for each award.
• The nominating nonprofit agency must be affiliated with the SourceAmerica nonprofit network.
• The nominating nonprofit agency must be in good standing and compliant with SourceAmerica policies as well as Commission rules and regulations.
• If a nonprofit agency won an Achievement Award in 2024, the agency may not submit a nomination for that same award for 2025.
• Note: If a subcontractor as part of the SourceAmerica Prime Vendor program is a nonprofit agency affiliated with SourceAmerica, their employees are considered AbilityOne employed and qualify for these awards.
• SourceAmerica Board members and NCSE Executive Committee representatives and their organizations are not eligible to receive Achievement Awards, with the exception of the following employee awards:
  • William M. Usdane Award
  • Evelyne Villines Award
  • Honor Roll for Veterans Award
  • Tom Miller Advocacy Award

For 2025, SourceAmerica staff and leadership may also submit nominations for the Business Partnership Award, Quality Excellence Award, and Customer Awards.
