The process

Each year AFP-HR issues a call for nominations to honor the generosity of individuals, corporations, and foundations whose gifts of commitment, dedication and leadership have made Hampton Roads a better place.

All awards recipients are chosen by the AFP-HR Awards Committee. The committee reviews each application received by the stated deadline that satisfies all criteria.

If, in the judgment of the committee, no application for a particular award meets the stated criteria, no award will be given for that year. The committee works to establish consistent criteria for each award.

The event

The awards were presented Nov. 16 on National Philanthropy Day at the Norfolk Waterside Marriott. Keynote speaker was Angelica Light, president and CEO of the Hampton Roads Community Foundation.

  • Benefit corporations A new business entitity for the socially minded

    Posted: November 18, 2011

    BY David Kamer

    "Social Entrepreneurship" has become a hot concept in recent years as many businesses and entrepreneurs have sought to bring profit-making and social mission together under one roof. This is reflected in the growth of businesses incorporating social impact into their business model - from purveyors of Fair Trade certified goods, and sellers of organic, sustainably grown and environmentally friendly foods and products, to microlenders, film studios, specialized venture capital firms and even law firms.

  • Can businesses afford not to reach out?

    Posted: November 18, 2011

    Corporate outreach develops mutually beneficial relationships between corporations and the nonprofits with which they collaborate. It is not as much of a give-and-take relationship as it is a win-win situation.

    Both benefit from the partnership, and although at first glance one might think it is the not-for-profit that comes out ahead, it is often just as valuable, if not more, for the company.

    Travel back in time to my Ohio hometown 50-plus years ago. There is a tower in a field - a metal structure with four supports and an open platform. My brothers, our friends and I are playing around the base while our mothers are high above scanning the sky for Soviet airplanes.
