ASDAR Community Service Awards

DAR Community Service awards are an excellent way to recognize worthy individuals in your communities for voluntary achievements in cultural, education, humanitarian, patriotic, historical, and citizenship endeavors, or in environmental conservation.

The qualifications for the awards are: (1) the recipient must have contributed to their community in an outstanding voluntary heroic, civic, or benevolent manner or have participated in or organized community activities; (2) the achievement must have taken place within the past (5) years with no compensation; (3) NSDAR members are eligible for the award if the service performed was unrelated to DAR activities; (4) the award may not be presented to a recipient more than one time and may not be initiated or approved posthumously but awards that are approved may be presented posthumously; (5) the nominee may not receive more than one NSDAR award for the same accomplishments; and (6) Community Service Awards are chapter or state awards of recognition. They are not contests and there is no competitive judging at any level.
