Citizens Awards
The Citizens Awards recognize businesses for their leadership in solving the world’s biggest challenges.
For more than 25 years, the Corporate Citizenship Awards ("Citizens Awards") have highlighted how businesses serve as a force for good, expanding opportunity and driving progress in every aspect of society.
This program recognizes the most innovative and impactful corporate citizenship initiatives that leverage a company’s talent, resources, and expertise to improve communities.
Winners of our 2026 Citizens Awards will be announced at our annual Business Solves Conference on Oct. 27-28 in Washington, D.C. The event will also feature discussions from business leaders and social impact experts on how the private sector can drive meaningful change on the issues that matter most.
This year's finalists are connecting people to opportunity, strengthening local economies, supporting healthier communities, and improving preparedness before crises occur.
