2020 Nonprofit Professionals of the Year

When we look around our community, we see the incredible work that each and every one of you is doing to change the world — be it providing health care or education, saving the environment, reducing waste, feeding the poor, building homes, etc. — and we are simply awestruck. To the most passionate, hard-working, selfless people we know, we commend you and thank you for your countless hours of dedication, resourcefulness, perseverance and resilience to the causes you care so deeply about.

As a small token of appreciation from your friends at NonProfit PRO, each year, we choose nine individuals to be recognized in the following categories: nonprofit professional, lifetime achievement, executive, board member, fundraiser, marketer, technology professional, unsung hero and rising star. And each year that passes becomes increasingly harder for our team to make our selection — and this year was no different.

We received a record number of submissions, which made it even more difficult for our team to choose only one nomination per category, as we’ve read so many stories that touched our hearts.

So, without further ado, please join us in congratulating this year’s Nonprofit Professionals of the Year.
