Who We Honor
The ePIFanyNow™ Y-PIF™ Award honors youth who are passing kindness forward and making a difference in their communities. We are looking for youth in grades K through 12 who have used their time, talents, and treasures to benefit and enhance the lives of others.
Why Nominate?
The Y-PIF™ Award is an opportunity for youth to get recognition and added funding for their youth-led activities/projects that provide service to others and make a positive contribution to their communities. Please note that service club and requirements/projects do NOT qualify for the Y-PIF™ Award. (e.g. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, youth groups, and religious organizations).
Once you nominate a child for the award you will receive an email confirmation. The nomination then goes to the ePIFanyNow™ board who will review it and may ask for additional support. You will be alerted by mid-March if your nomination moves forward.
The Y-PIF™ nominations that move forward will be highlighted on the ePIFanyNow™ website where the public can vote for their favorite. Each vote is $1 and all the monies raised will be donated back to the individual Y-PIF™ nominee's project that receive the vote.
What is Y-PIF™
Since 2009 thousands of ePIFanyNow™ participants have been creating a revolution of positive, transformational experiences through acts of kindness.
In 2015 the Y-PIF™ Award (Youth Passing It Forward) was established honoring youth passing kindness forward and making a positive contribution to their community.
