The Innovation Awards highlight organizational technology strategies used by nonprofit organizations in public policy activities that demonstrate effectiveness, innovation, and lessons learned. Monetary awards range from $1000 to $3000. Seven winners were chosen in 1998 for their effective use of technology to engage citizens in public policy activities. The grand prize award to Bethphage (Omaha, NE) honored their very effective use of technology in their organizing campaign for people with developmental disabilities. Other awards to model projects that integrate technology tools with their policy campaigns went to: the Judge David L. Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law (Washington, DC), Libraries for the Future (New York, NY), the Roger Baldwin Foundation of ACLU, Inc. (Chicago, IL), the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, TVW (Olympia, WA), and the Utility Consumers' Action Network (UCAN) (San Diego, CA).
