In a separate Outstanding Organization
Catagory, PLAN of Northeast Ohio was recognized as a finalist for the Organizational prize. PLAN consistently
excels in delivering exceptional solutions and innovative programs that assist those living with mental illness progress in
their recovery. The road to recovery has no map but there is a PLAN. The Woodruff Foundation was established in 1986 to enhance, through financial support,
the development and delivery of mental health services. In addition to their traditional grant making, the Trustees
of the Woodruff Foundation have sought to recognize and honor those organizations and individuals doing superior work in the
mental health and/or chemical dependency fields. From
this objective, the Woodruff Prize Awards were established in 1989. Each year one nonprofit organization in Cuyahoga
County, Ohio and one individual, either a professional or a volunteer, are awarded the Woodruff Prizes, each with a prize
of $10,000.
