Please see your Alliance program for more information on Baldrige-based awards.
The eligibility portion of the application must be completed through the online award application by this date and prior to beginning the award application.
Questions in this section are used to certify your organization's eligibility in one of six award categories: manufacturing, service, small business, education, health care, or nonprofit.
Applications must be submitted through the online award application by this date.
Information provided in this section is used to determine your organization’s eligibility. The Baldrige Program keeps all of this information confidential. We use it to avoid conflicts of interest when assigning examiners to your application. In addition, certain eligibility information provides a useful profile of your organization and is often the first information read by the Baldrige examiners assigned to your application.
We'll review your eligibility information promptly and contact your designated contact point or alternate if it needs clarification, but you'll self-certify your organization's eligibility to apply for the award. You do not need notification from the program to begin your application.
The Baldrige Program relies on the information you submit for Eligibility Certification. If we find during the award cycle that the information is inaccurate in a way that makes your organization ineligible, you will forfeit eligibility for the award, and your organization will receive an evaluation report only. Please contact the helpline with any questions.
