For over four decades, the Human Relations Awards have recognized individuals and organizations that work to advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in our community. These awards and the work that they honor take on greater significance as our community continues to navigate the extraordinary challenges of polarization and social inequity.
Please review the three categories of Human Relations Awards below. Individuals and organizations that have been Award recipients in the last four years are not eligible for this year’s award in the same category. However, they are eligible to be nominated in a different award category for this year’s award. For example, if someone was the Youth Award recipient last year, they are eligible to be nominated this year for the Individual or Organization/Team Award. Although there is not a residency requirement, the impact of the nominee’s work should be focused on the City of Fort Collins and/or Larimer County.
Criteria for nominees include (but are not limited to):
• Advocates for diversity, equity and inclusion in our community
• Positively impacts an underrepresented population in our community
• Serves as a role model by motivating others to effect positive change in underserved communities
• Advances the goal of making Fort Collins a safe and welcoming community for all
All award recipients and nominees, their nominators, and family and friends are invited to the Human Relations Awards ceremony. Recipients are honored by the Mayor, City Councilmembers and other City leaders.
The deadline for submitting 2024 Award nomination forms is October 25, 2024.
