Past International Stewardship Awards (ISAs) Winners
The ADRP ISAs have been established as the premier awards program recognizing excellence and outstanding accomplishments in donor relations. Following and expanding the model established by the successful introduction of the ADRP Film Festival, the ADRP ISAs accept nominations for excellence in five key categories: events, impact reporting, digital communications, video communications, and new program.
In 2023, ADRP ISAs changed their winner groups from the initial five key categories to budget levels (Major, Large, Medium, and Small).
