2025 Make More Happen™ Awards
Awards are made on behalf of the agency in recognition of their commitment to giving back. Once the agency was selected as a winner, we asked them to rally their community to vote for their Make More Happen story, and the votes racked up. Each award story reached at least 500 votes, securing them a $10,000 donation for the nominated nonprofit and gaining local media attention to bring even more awareness to the agency, nonprofit and ways the community can get involved.
Year-End Giving
We recognized 17 agencies across the country who donated or volunteered at year’s end. In their spirit of giving, we awarded each partner nonprofit a $500 donation to take their efforts even further this year.
