Thomas Lamb Eliot Award for Service to Philanthropy
The Dr. Reverend Thomas Lamb Eliot served as senior minister at First Unitarian Church of Portland for more than a quarter
century (1867-1893). As a civic leader, his sense of community concern led him to join the board, and most often as
president with the following organizations that we now hold dear to us, including Reed College, Oregon Humane Society,
Boys & Girls Aid Society, Portland Library Association, Multnomah County Schools, Park Commissioners and the Portland Art
Association. In this spirit of community service the Association of Fundraising Professionals, AFP Oregon, established the
Thomas Lamb Eliot award to recognize individuals who have served nonprofits and the community through dedicated
service.
