ADRP International Stewardship Awards

2022 nominations are now closed.

The ADRP International Stewardship Awards recognize excellence and outstanding accomplishments in donor relations. Since 2017, this program has drawn entries from all facets of the donor relations landscape. We want to recognize your accomplishments and best practices and honor you as a practitioner in the categories below. Winners will be showcased at the ISA awards in September, on the ADRP website, in the HUB with past winner profiles, and at various ADRP events.

A nominal fee of $25.00 will be charged for each entry and donor relations colleagues and industry experts will judge each category. The awards are open to both members and non-members; all are welcome to apply!

Nominations Categories

Innovation

Over the past few years, we have all had to go back to the drawing board to come up with new and truly innovative ways to reach our supporters and volunteers.
