More about the Skidmore Prize
The inspiration for the name of this prize: The Skidmore Fountain in Portland’s Old Town, which bears the inscription, “Good citizens are the riches of a city.”
Next fall, our four Skidmore Prize winners will enjoy special recognition throughout the Give!Guide campaign for their contributions and hard work. Skidmore Prize winners are the embodiment of community dedication, a testament to the power of passion and purpose. We honor not just their achievements but the potential in all of us to make a meaningful difference.
Winners of the Skidmore Prize must be under the age of 36 and work full-time for a local nonprofit.
