L’Oreal Paris Seeking Nominations for 2015 Women of Worth Awards

Philanthropy News Digest reports that L’Oreal Paris has announced a Call for Nominations for the 2015 L’Oreal Paris Women of Worth awards, an annual program designed to honor women making a “beautiful difference” in the world through voluntarism.  

According to the Digest,

Since 2006, the program, in partnership with Points of Light, has recognized eighty inspiring women who have selflessly devoted themselves to causes at the local and national level and motivated others to get involved.  Past honorees have been involved in a range of important causes, from advocating for victims of childhood abuse and mentoring homeless children, to helping break the cycle of poverty and empowering teens with disabilities.  

As regards the current Call for Nominations, the Digest states that this year, “ten women will be awarded $10,000 each and one woman will be named the national honoree and receive an additional $25,000 to further her charitable efforts.  All ten honorees will be recognized in December at a star-studded awards ceremony hosted by L’Oreal Paris in New York.” 

Complete program guidelines, information about previous recipients, and nomination instructions are available at the Women of Worth website.
