“It is a poignant honor to receive the 2013 Impact Award from the NCRP, a fearless and values-driven watchdog of foundations. NCRP’s benchmarks … serve as a mirror to examine how the Levi Strauss Foundation lives up to our own values and aspirations – empathy, integrity, originality and courage.”

Levi Strauss Foundation – 2013 Awardee
Recognizing the best of the best
Since 2013, the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy has celebrated funders that have shown leadership, innovation and commitment to solving the country’s toughest problems through its annual Impact Awards.
But the 2017 Awards will be different. We have seen tremendous need – and an opportunity – for our country’s grantmakers to use smart and effective strategies to have lasting positive impact.
Regretfully, for many funders it’s “business as usual.” Some have decided to wait it out while others adopted small measures, perhaps fearing potential fall out or the risk of failing.
But there are those that have taken bigger steps than ever before to strengthen communities and promote opportunity and justice for all. Help us celebrate these foundations that stepped up to answer the call.
Nominate winners for our four new award categories:
- The “Smashing Silos” Award for Intersectional Grantmaking
- The “Get Up, Stand Up” Award for Rapid Response Grantmaking
- The “Changing Course” Award for Incorporating Feedback
- The “Mover and Shaker” Award for Bold Peer Organizing

“At Liberty Hill, we put the ‘social’ in ‘social justice’ – and we love any chance to celebrate with other leaders in the fight for justice and equality. We are organizers, donor-activists and allies, and to us, this is a meaningful award because it’s from a group we hold in high esteem for its brave work to strengthen social justice philanthropy.”
