Nomination rules
Who can nominate?
Any member with an active pledge for the current season. Your pledge must be live before nominations close.
How many nominations per member?
One. Choose carefully — duplicate submissions from the same member are discarded.
What orgs are eligible?
Registered 501(c)(3) organizations with a primary focus on serving San Diego County. National orgs with an active local presence may qualify.
Can I nominate my own org?
No. Members cannot nominate organizations they are employed by, on the board of, or financially affiliated with.
How is the shortlist picked?
All eligible nominations go to a member-wide vote. There's no editorial filter — if it's eligible, it's on the ballot.
When is voting?
After nominations close, pledging members receive a private ballot link by email. Voting is open for approximately two weeks.
