NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / May 16, 2024 / Engage for Good, the leading company empowering corporate and nonprofit professionals to create mutually beneficial social impact partnerships, held their 22nd Annual Halo Awards Gala last night. The awards celebrated 2023's best social impact initiatives between nonprofits and corporations across the country.
The winners were chosen by an expert panel of judges from a field of over 160 applicants. Winners took home Gold and Silver awards in 18 categories including "Best Disability Initiative," "Best Social Impact Creative," "Best Cause Product Initiative" and more. The winning campaigns took innovative approaches to make impact: from initiatives that used technology to help deaf and hard-of-hearing football players play at a professional level, innovative use of AI to identify antibiotic resistances in third world countries, a fund to defend the constitutional rights and creative expression of LGBTQ people, and more.
"This year's winners demonstrate what is possible when companies and nonprofits partner to create programs that benefit the business and the cause," said Muneer Panjwani, CEO of Engage for Good. "Social impact is not only good for the world, but good for the business, and we are inspired by the creativity, innovation, and commitment the winners have shown to address the many challenges our society is facing today."
The awards featured performances by VINCINT and Miss Shalae, and were hosted by Minneapolis' very own Michelle Young and Tim Gabrielson.
In addition to these awards, the evening celebrated Google.org as the Corporation of the Year, and charity: water as the Nonprofit of the Year. To win these awards, both organizations have shown years of commitment to pursuing innovative new partnership models that align the resources of nonprofits and corporations to create an impact on the cause and the business.
