Ottawa County Citizenship Award
Ottawa County Citizenship Award
The Ottawa County Community Foundation is proud to introduce the Ottawa County Citizenship Award — a new way to celebrate the people who make our communities such wonderful places to live, work, and grow.
Each month, we’ll recognize one individual from somewhere in Ottawa County who goes above and beyond to make a positive difference. Nominees might be someone who:
- Volunteers their time to help others
- Shows kindness and compassion in everyday life
- Leads community projects or supports local events
- Quietly helps neighbors without asking for credit
- Works to make Ottawa County a stronger, more connected community
Anyone can submit a nomination! Simply click the link below, fill out the brief form, and tell us why your nominee deserves to be recognized.
Recipients will be selected on the 25th of every month, and their stories will be shared to inspire others to give back in their own ways.
