Comments

This form is to nominate 10,000 Degrees alumni for a Changemaker award

This is a clone draft I made to work on the 2026 version (7/29/2026)

Nominate Yourself or an Alum!

Are you a 10,000 Degrees Alum who is making a difference locally or globally? OR do you know a 10,000 Degrees Alum who is inspiring their family or community? We want to hear from you!

Nominate yourself or an alum to be the next Alumni Changemaker!

Then save the date for our Alumni Changemakers Celebration, Thursday, November 12, 2026 at 5:30 p.m. at the Julia Morgan Ballroom in San Francisco where we will celebrate our amazing alumni!

**ENTRY DETAILS**

Eligibility: nominees must be 10,000 Degrees, Meritus, and/or Maisin alumni.
10,000 Degrees will select 10–15 semi-finalists. The 10,000 Degrees community will then vote to select five 2026 Alumni Changemakers honorees.
The five alumni honorees should be available to join us at the 10,000 Degrees Alumni Changemakers Award Celebration on Thursday, November 12, 2026, from 5:30 p.m.– 9:00 p.m. in San Francisco.

The five alumni honorees will each be awarded $1,000 and a special gift at our November 12th event!
Current staff who are alumni are not eligible to be nominated, but former staff are welcome to be nominated.
Each person who nominates an eligible nominee will be entered for a chance to win a $250 Visa gift card! (One entry per nomination.)

We can't wait to hear the inspiring stories of the 10,000 Degrees, Meritus, and Maisin Alumni who are making a difference in the world!
