Make a Difference Awards

Do you know a person or an organization that deserves recognition for their contributions and commitment to helping others in need, improving our neighborhoods, creating community and making Ridgefield a better place to live?

These are the unsung heroes whose volunteer efforts and giving spirit don’t usually get recognition or awards. The Make a Difference Awards are a way for us to say 'Thank You'.

The process is straightforward. Nominate up to two individuals and one organization that you feel should be recognized for work they did in Ridgefield in 2025 and tell us why. City Council will review the nominations and select winners.

Submit your nominations by February 20, 2026.

The Make a Difference Award ceremony will take place at the State of the City on Tuesday, March 17, 2026.
