Talent Market is now seeking nominations for the two awards we will present in May.
This year we are especially pleased to announce that the Program of the Year Award winner will receive $10,000 in recognition of its exceptional work and the Secret Weapon Award winner will receive $2,500 in recognition of his/her outstanding contributions.
And this is where YOU come in. We need your help nominating the best of the best.
Program of the Year
Talent Market’s Program of the Year Award celebrates a program that develops free-market talent. The program will have a solid curriculum, evidence of short and long-term impact, and impressive alumni who are making a difference in the liberty movement. The program must be run by a 501(c)3 nonprofit.
Organizations must nominate their own programs. Outside nominations will not be considered.
The winning program will receive $10,000 in recognition of its exceptional work in developing talent, along with well-deserved acknowledgment within the liberty movement for its invaluable efforts in expanding the talent pipeline.
Nominations must be submitted by 11:59pm Eastern Time on Wednesday, April 16, 2025. The winner will be notified by May 1 and a program representative will be invited to receive the award at America’s Future’s Annual Gala and Awards Showcase in Washington, DC.
Nominations for the 2025 Program of the Year Award will open soon.
Secret Weapon Award
Talent Market’s Secret Weapon Award celebrates a free-market nonprofit staff member who adds tremendous value to his/her organization and the liberty movement from behind the scenes. The Secret Weapon can be an accounting ace, IT whiz, operations guru, or other talent who makes significant contributions but doesn’t get the spotlight. The Secret Weapon must be full-time staff member of a 501(c)3 nonprofit.
The winner will receive $2,500 in recognition of his/her outstanding contributions.
Please do not submit multiple nominations for the same individual. While we appreciate enthusiasm, multiple submissions for the same person won’t increase his/her chances of winning.
Nominations must be submitted by 11:59pm Eastern Time on Wednesday, April 16, 2025. The winner will be notified by May 1 and will be invited to receive the award at America’s Future’s Annual Gala and Awards Showcase in Washington, DC.
Nominations for the 2025 Secret Weapon Award will open soon.

The awards will be presented during this year’s America’s Future Annual Gala and Awards Showcase on May 22, 2025 in Washington, DC.
