ADRP International Stewardship Awards
Welcome to the exciting (and newly refreshed) ADRP International Stewardship Awards (ISA) for 2023! The ISA recognizes excellence and outstanding accomplishments in donor relations. We want to acknowledge your incredible achievements, share valuable best practices, and honor you as a practitioner in our field. You shared, and we listened! This year we revamped the awards to better encompass the fantastic work happening in all our organizations. To ensure fair representation, we are adjusting our award criteria. We will now divide submissions based on a budget instead of just a category. You can now submit once per project and check as many (or as few) category types as apply to your entry. We will also announce winners before the ADRP International Conference. We hope this also provides you a greater opportunity to attend the Conference in person so we can celebrate with you! Apply NowDeadline to submit a proposal is Friday, June 16, 2023. A 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 members and non-members; all are welcome to apply! Submission Budget LevelsWinners will be selected from each budget level.
Submission CategoriesYou can now submit one project entry and select multiple categories, if applicable. People’s Choice AwardADRP Members will have the opportunity to vote for a People’s Choice award winner prior to the Conference. The winner will be announced at the Conference and receive a special award! ISA Winning Submissions Perks
The DetailsWe know everyone is busy! As mentioned, you will only need to submit once per project. Be sure to fill out the budget information and check all applicable category boxes. Ideally, projects should have taken place within the last three years, but please feel free to reach out with more information if you would like our committee to consider a unique circumstance outside of those guidelines. Please note that your submission does not have to fit our predefined categories. Select "other" and fill out the remainder of the form. That is the beauty of our work – it can be tried and true or entirely out of the box! Apply NowDeadline to submit a proposal is Friday, June 16, 2023.
