Acquisition International is proud to announce the return of the Non-Profit Organisation Awards for the second year running. Non-profit organisations (NPOs) often go unrecognised, despite the fact they play a monumental role in solving some of our biggest global challenges.
According to the World Bank, if NPOs were a country, they would rank 16th largest in the world as measured by GDP. NPOs cut across all sections of society and have an enormous impact on economic and social issues.
With these awards, we want to take the opportunity to celebrate the unsung heroes of the non-profit business world. This year we want to expand on the success of last year’s programme, therefore we would like to welcome anyone who has excelled in this sector to take part and get the recognition they deserve, whether they are from a large conglomerate or small independent business.
Taking part in the AI Non-Profit Organisation Awards 2022 is an ideal way to show your employees that their efforts are valued by the organisation, whilst also providing the public with evidence of your successes as an enterprise.
Notifying stakeholders of your participation in our programme indicates that your business is garnering the attention of third parties, and that word of your expertise is creating a buzz within the sector. These awards will give you a chance to reap the rewards that your hard work deserves. No matter if you have been running your organisation for years or months, this is the chance to be rewarded for your excellence and passion, from a trusted source.
Based on merit and not just the number of votes received, our awards process works to ensure that we reward parties based on their excellence in the industry, the quality of their products and their dedication to service, not just the size of the business or its popularity.
With all this in mind, if you know of, operate, or are a member of an organisation which you feel is worthy of acknowledgement, please complete the voting form by clicking ‘nominate’ at the top of the page. If you require further information on how you can get involved, or our awards process then please get in touch with the Awards Programme Coordinator Gabrielle Ellis by using the contact details provided.

Kathryn Hall
As one of AI Global Media’s Directors, Kathryn is passionate about delivering maximum value for each award winner.
"As a freelance business adviser, it was a fantastic feeling just to be noticed amongst all the other larger consulting firms in the UK.
I’ve used the award in a number of ways already: to assure clients that they are, and are continuing to, work with recognised excellence; and to assure my parents that their son didn’t turn out all that badly after all!
"This recognition has also meant that my credibility when submitting evidences and ideas to inform future government policy and wider business support practices is enhanced. It’s offered me a great excuse to rekindle relationships with lapsed colleagues and network contacts who reached out to congratulate me on this achievement."

"Winning an award is a third-party endorsement of your capabilities and should be highly treasured and promoted.
"AI Global Media have gone out of their way to help me promote the award, they have taken the awards to the next stage, it is not a bye-bye when you have the certificate but a concentrated effort to ensure that your achievements reach a wider audience. Our award has been seen on all the social media platforms, by clients and competitors, friends, and family. The logo is on every email we send out and all of this is due to the encouragement of the team at AI.
"The award has endorsed our capabilities, made people think more seriously about our work and most importantly has influenced our bottom line. People are more likely to trust an award winner and accept that if you employ an award-winning agency there is a cost for this extra layer of professional advice."
