Jefferson Awards for Public Service
Industry	Public Service, Non-Profit
Founded	1972
Founder	Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Robert Taft Jr. Samuel Beard
Headquarters	Wilmington, Delaware, U.S.
Website	http://www.jeffersonawards.org

The Jefferson Awards Foundation was created in 1972 by the American Institute for Public Service.^[1]^[2] The Jefferson Awards are given at both local and national levels.^[3] Local winners are ordinary people who do extraordinary things without expectation of recognition. Local winners come from national networks of "Media Partners" and "Corporate Champions", from the associated "Students In Action", Lead360, and the GlobeChangers programs. The Jefferson Awards Foundation is led by its CEO, Benita Fitzgerald Mosley, its president, Sam Beard, and its chairman, Jack Russi, in conjunction with the Foundation's board of governors.^[4]

National awards

The awards are presented each year during a ceremony in Washington, D.C., where a broad array of honorees are recognized. Also recognized are organizations – companies that represent the pinnacle in corporate citizenship and academic institutions that best reflect the Jeffersonian ideals of citizen involvement.

History

In 1972, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, U.S. Senator Robert Taft Jr., and Samuel Beard founded the Jefferson Awards for Public Service to establish a prize for public and community service. The Jefferson Awards are led by the Board of Selectors who choose the national winners and oversee the activities of the organization. Co-founder, Sam Beard, is currently the President & CEO.^{[citation needed]}

Jefferson Awards Foundation
