Atheist Alliance International (AAI) is pleased to announce that the 2008
Community Cooperation Award has increased!!
Deadline for application is August 31, 2008
The Community Cooperation Award (CCA), originally made possible by an
anonymous donor, will in 2008 be funded by the Atheist Alliance
International and the Humanist Chaplaincy at Harvard, and will increase to a
first prize of $600 and a runner-up prize of $300.
[Attached are PDFs of application and announcement]
The object of the CCA is to encourage cooperation, ethical awareness and
positive images of and within the Freethought community and also to foster
cooperation between atheist/freethought organizations and their larger home
communities. Cooperation, ethics, and positive image are the elements that
will be considered by the CCA committee during review of the applications.
Consideration will be given to the size of the applicant organization
relative to its achievements. It is our goal to encourage organizations to
employ ethical means to solve problems, controversies or disagreements they
may encounter, either within the organization itself or the community at
large. Finally, the organization should project a positive image of atheists
and freethinkers as individuals and as a community.
Applicant groups must be non-profit, non-political, atheist/freethought
organizations listed in the current edition of the Freethought Directory
published by AAI. The applicant organization need not be an AAI member
group. The award money may be used for any purpose. To qualify for the CCA,
applicant groups must submit a completed entry form, in English, listing
examples of positive action since August 1, 2007, signed by three group
representatives, indicating their group association (president, vice
president, etc.).
The winners selected by the CCA Committee may be asked to substantiate their
applications with documentation in the form of:
. Media coverage of community volunteer work
. Evidence of cooperation with civic or religious leaders in the community
. Listing with local United Way or other philanthropic organizations
. Tapes or transcripts from meetings/events
. Relevant articles from the organization's newsletter
Completed entry forms may be emailed to humanist@ameritech.net and
vicepresident@atheistalliance.org by August 31, 2008
The AAI CCA Committee will choose the winners. The decision will be final,
and the right will be reserved to withdraw the award after it is announced,
but before it is paid, if there is substantial evidence of undesirable
behavior on the part of the proposed recipients. A runner-up may also be
chosen in case the winner is deemed no longer worthy. The winners will be
announced at the 2008 AAI convention, September 25-28 in Long Beach,
California.
