Six nonprofits are recognized each year for their excellence in the following fields: Arts and Culture, Civic and Community, Education, Environment, Health and Human Services. In addition, El Pomar recognizes individuals for their outstanding contributions to the nonprofit sector. The event is hosted by El Pomar Trustees at an annual retreat that takes place each fall.
