The Legacy Awards

   The Legacy Foundation for Women celebrates the achievements of outstanding women of color during its annual "Legacy Awards". Each year the Foundation recognizes women of color that are leaving and leading a legacy for the next generation of girls of color. The Legacy Foundation for Women recognizes women of color in the areas of Medicine, Education, Business, Politics, Criminal Justice, Sports/Athletics, Journalism, Community/Religion and Arts.  One recipient in each category is selected. All recipients will be honored and recognized by the Legacy Foundation for Women during the annual "The Legacy Awards".  To nominate an outstanding women of color in your city click the "Nomination Link" below starting May 1st. Nominations must be received on or before June 30th each year. Recipients are selected according to criteria chosen by the selection committee.  

Typically, our event is held as a formal black-tie gala event. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the importance of social distancing, we are doing things just a little differently. The 2021 Legacy Awards is going virtual, maintaining its focus on outstanding women of color. 

The 2021 Legacy Awards will be held as a Virtual Red Carpet Event on November 7th at 4:00pm-5:30pm. For questions, contact The Legacy Foundation for Women at 1-336-624-9305.
