Rare Genomics is a finalist for the 2016 Drucker Prize!
/The winning nonprofit organization, which receives a $100,000 grant, will be announced on September 30. The Rare Genomics Institute was selected from 50 semifinalists—out of 500 applicants—after completing mini-courses that covered innovation and nonprofit performance. Rare Genomics answered questions on our current organizational practices and how we could implement the new ideas that were presented through the mini-courses.
The Drucker Prize, formerly known as the Peter F. Drucker Award for Nonprofit Innovation, has been awarded since 1991. Winning organizations represent the Drucker Institute's definition of innovation: "change that creates a new dimension of performance." Nonprofits are judged on effectiveness, the difference their programs can create in the lives of people they serve, and their innovative impact.
