The Peter F. Drucker Award for Canadian Nonprofit Innovation is given each year to a nonprofit organization in recognition of a program that has made a difference in the lives of the people it serves -- producing results that exemplify Peter F. Drucker's definition of innovation: "Change that creates a new dimension of performance." It is in this area - where needs are dramatic and financial resources are typically very limited - that Drucker sees a particular challenge to help organizations practice innovation.

DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES IS STILL TO BE DETERMINED for 2005.
