Know of anyone who is always giving back to their community, including yourself? If you answered yes, submit an application to TIAA Difference Maker 100. 

In honor of TIAA's 100th anniversary, TIAA is giving back to the community through its members. The 100 winners will receive a $10,000 donation from TIAA made in their name to the organization where the winner made a difference, equaling $1 million in donations. 

Through June 12, you can nominate yourself or someone you know working at a nonprofit organization who is making a positive impact. Describe how you or your nominee are making a difference, including impacts and challenges faced. Don't forget to include either a video or photo!

To be eligible, nominees have to work for a nonprofit organization – like the University of Colorado – but the way you make a difference can be either professional or personal. Candidates do not have to be TIAA customers, but must be currently active at a nonprofit organization. The judges will consider your motivation, perseverance, creativity and impact.

Submit your or your nominee’s story to TIAA by June 12. Winners will be announced by Oct. 1.
