2005 Competition
MetLife and MetLife Foundation were this year's Leaders for Change Award winners, for their Programs Supporting Teachers.
Established over a decade ago, the now biannual Leaders for Change Award program is designed to recognize and promote outstanding, long-term corporate commitments to improving education.To be eligible, a corporate-supported project must seek to improve student learning at any educational level, from pre-school to graduate school. Projects may involve coalitions of companies. However, award consideration is limited to projects that:
- constitute an organized, systematic and integrated program or plan of activity;
- reflect total financial support of at least $250,000;
have been in operation for at least three years; and
- are currently in operation or have been completed within the last two years. CAE invites corporations to tell us about their education grantmaking programs that meet these eligibility requirements. To submit information about your corporate supported education program, or for more details about the competition, please contact Jim Hundley at jhundley@cae.org or (212) 217-0821. | | |
