We built Make It Better Media to make the lives of our community easier and, truly, better.
We’ve partnered with hundreds of organizations and individuals to share their stories and the innumerable ways they are making a difference in our world. The best of these organizations deserve to be recognized and rewarded.
In the past two years, our Make It Better Philanthropy Awards have recognized 17 outstanding nonprofits for their exceptional work in bettering our community. These nonprofits—recognized for their work in education, athletics, social service and more—connect our North Shore audience with the causes they care about most.
For this year’s awards, we will recognize excellence in six award categories: Education, Athletics, Social Service, Environment, Social Justice and Audience Choice. Our illustrious group of judges—all thoughtful, strategic philanthropists—will select winners from the applications submitted online. We will notify winners on November 14, National Philanthropy Day, with a surprise visit to each nonprofit.
Winners will receive editorial support across Make It Better’s multiple platforms; exclusive training in philanthropic best practices; proceeds from our upcoming Shop For Good; and a professional marketing video highlighting the organization’s mission and vision.
To nominate an outstanding nonprofit, simply visit the 2014 Philanthropy Awards page and follow the links to the application. But don’t wait—the final date to accept applications is approaching fast. Applications will close Monday, Sept. 15. For more information or for specific inquiries, contact Make It Better Co-Founder Mindy Fauntleroy at mindy@makeitbetter.net.
