About the e-chievement award
One of the show's most popular segments is the e-chievement award. Listeners from around the country send in nominations of remarkable individuals who are working hard to make a positive difference in their communities and beyond. From massive river clean-ups to programs that help the homeless, from neighborhood activists to national and international social and environmental organizations, we take pride in celebrating the success stories of ordinary citizens accomplishing extraordinary things.

Since 1991, etown has presented hundreds of e-chievement awards with documented, positive results for our winners. Our winners have experienced greater funding for their nonprofit efforts, additional contributions of resources, increased volunteer time, in-kind services, and more.
