2016 Ruderman Prize in Inclusion Competition

The Ruderman Family Foundation has opened the nomination period for its international Ruderman Prize in Inclusion, which awards companies and organizations operating innovative programs and services that foster the full inclusion of people with disabilities. Now in its fifth year, the Ruderman Prize shines a spotlight on the important work being done, celebrates models that can be replicated elsewhere and ensures that resources are available to allow them to continue. This year priority will be given to innovations in the fields of technology, entertainment, art & fashion, media, social businesses and advocacy. Past winners include organizations in Russia, United Kingdom, United States, Mexico, Israel, South Africa, Australia, Canada and Argentina. Read more and apply at www.rudermanfoundation.org.
