The David R. Hunter  - Connie Pious Award is given annually to an SJF member who has devoted long-term service to the foundation and its work. The award was named to honor an SJF founder, lifelong community activist and former Director of the Stern Family Fund and the Ottinger Foundation. David based his career on creating progressive, collaborative philanthropy.  

The Jeannette Rankin Award is given annually to a lifelong activist who has served the SJF region of Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Washington and Oregon. This award embodies the hard work, dedication, and strong spirit of the community activist. The award is named in honor of the first woman to serve in Congress, from the state of Montana, who served as a community organizer, labor activist, and lifelong peace activist.
