.ORG domain name owners who are
using the Internet to empower
change around the world. From
individuals to large corporations,
and small community groups to
multinational NGOs, purpose-driven
achievements from members of the
.ORG community will be honored
through this inaugural
program. Nominations
are now being accepted from
nonprofits, corporations, community
groups and members and will remain
open through Friday, July 12,

.ORG Impact Awards does not seek to
profit from submissions. In fact,
winning individuals and
organizations will receive up to
$5,000 in a monetary
contribution to the nonprofit of
their choice, and finalists will
receive two complimentary
invitations to attend The .ORG
Impact Awards Ceremony
at The Watergate Hotel in Washington,
D.C. on October 10, 2019
where winners will be announced.
Finalists in the “Individual”

President and CEO Jon Nevett
said, “The .ORG Impact
Awards is an opportunity to
convene organizations of
all types and sizes from
around the world to learn
from each other, celebrate
each other’s
accomplishments and
strengthen the work being
done through .ORG to make
the world a better place.
The mission-and
affinity-driven .ORG
community is vast, diverse
and incredibly innovative in
how it harnesses the power
of the Internet to improve
the lives of people near and
far, and we’re thrilled to
shine a spotlight on these
accomplishments to help
strengthen these stellar .ORGs
for the future.”
All

The .ORG Impact Awards’
secure online

Nominators may submit to
more than one

each submission must be
