2025 Class of Rising Stars Nomination Form

The Independent invites you to nominate an individual making a difference in Kansas City for our 2025 Class of Rising Stars.

Deadline to submit nomination packets: November 15, 2024. Nominations will not be accepted after this date.

No age restriction.

While we applaud the great work of non-profit employees, please do not nominate someone based on his/her work as an employee. To nominate an employee of a non-profit organization, the nomination must be based on other volunteer work in the community, not on the person’s role as an employee.
