The Be More Awards is our community’s way of honoring and applauding the outstanding, but often unrecognized efforts of our community volunteers. A program of the City of Bloomington Volunteer Network, the Be More Awards honors all of the nominated individuals and groups, as well as the ten award recipients.

The Be More Awards are co-sponsored by the United Way of Monroe County, the IU Credit Union, the Community and Family Resources Department of the City, and WTIU. The Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County donates $500 to each of the ten organizations where the Be More Award recipients give the majority of their donated time and talents.
