2022 Giving Back Awards

Lynchburg Living Magazine’s annual Giving Back Awards are designed to honor the region’s outstanding nonprofit organizations that transform our communities and enrich the lives of others in a variety of ways with charitable or cultural missions or through partnerships and programs. Honorees will be determined based on nominations submitted by either representatives of the organizations or a person familiar with their work. Considerations for selection include the strength of the organization’s mission and contribution to the community, but the final list also reflects an effort to represent the diversity and breadth of the nonprofit organizations that give back in our region. You may nominate a nonprofit below.

The deadline to nominate is July 28, 2022.
Selected honorees will be featured in the Nov./Dec. 2022 issue of Lynchburg Living Magazine.

These awards are exclusive to nonprofit organizations. If you would like to nominate a for-profit business, you may do so in the Community Impact Appreciation Awards.

Important Note Regarding Multiple Nominations for a Single Organization
The Giving Back Awards review committee is looking for a single strong nomination for each organization, one that provides a well expressed mission, relevant details and specific examples of how that organization impacts our greater Lynchburg community in a positive way. Submitting multiple nomination forms from different individuals for the same organization does not improve that organization’s chances of being selected.
