New Categories to Elevate Impact Work in the 4th Annual Anthem Awards
New honors to elevate advocacy in all its forms, from Impact Reports that keep track of progress to start-up Emerging Companies or Organizations pushing boundaries with new strategies, and more!
We’re at a pivotal moment in our world—Queer, Trans and women’s rights are under attack. Key measures to slow climate change are being challenged. DE&I work is facing pushback. But impact professionals are standing firm in their fight, resiliently advocating for change through multidimensional work.
It’s important, now more than ever, to elevate purpose and mission-driven work in all its forms. In honor of the launch of the 4th Annual Anthem Awards, we’re introducing a slate of new categories to expand how we recognize social impact work. Read on to see the new ways we’re celebrating impact work in 2024.
New Categories for Impact Through Community Engagement and New Ideas
Each year, we work with our Judges in the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS) to grow the scope of work we recognize. To match the new and dynamic ways we’ve seen impact leaders driving change, we’re introducing multiple new categories, including:
- Impact Report in Awareness
- Grassroots Effort and School/University in Community Engagement
- Emerging Company or Organization in Product, Innovation & Service
Find out more about the all-new ways we’re honoring impact this season.
New Honors for Fundraising and Campaign Efforts
Every conscious initiative or campaign needs a foundation. As programming costs continues to rise, teams across the impact industry are finding creative routes to secure resources. This year, we have re-shaped our Fundraising categories to honor the specific work being done by development teams to support mission-driven work. New honors include:
- Capital Campaign
- Comprehensive Campaign
- Fundraising Appeal
- Peer-to-Peer Campaign
Learn more about this new suite of honors and where your fundraising work can fit at Anthem.
A New Look for “Team & Leadership”
To honor the wide spectrum of purposeful resources introduced by businesses and nonprofit leaders, we’ve evolved our category ‘Team & Leadership’ to Team & Internal Initiatives. We’re reflecting this shift with dedicated categories for:
- Business Leader
- Employee Resource Group Initiatives
- Nonprofit Leader
- Recruitment Initiative
- Young Leader
