PIR
CEO Jon Nevett noted, “We started the
.ORG Impact Awards to uplift and
celebrate those within the .ORG
Community that work tirelessly to create
positive change. From Kenya, to the United
Kingdom to the United States and beyond –
the .ORGs we celebrate come from all over
the world, but they are all dedicated to
making a positive impact on their
communities. If you are, or know, a
changemaker committed to mission-driven
work, we encourage you to submit a
nomination to be recognized for their
impact.” |
