Acquisition International are proud to announce our new and exclusive Non-Profit Organisation Awards. Non-profit organisations (NPOs) globally are wholly under recognised, they play a monumental role in solving some of our biggest global challenges. According to the World Bank, if NPOs were a country, they’d 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.
The shadow of COVID-19 is far from disappearing whilst dependency for support is at an all-time high. In 2020, food insecurity doubled, 70 million people were pushed back into poverty and in a study by CDC, 40% of respondents reported adverse mental health conditions related to the stress of the pandemic. With our programme, we have provided our winners with the opportunity to be recognised for your perseverance and determination in these difficult times.
We are therefore proudly calling upon all companies, organisations, institutes and enterprises from across the globe to take part in this prestigious award programme. Whether you are from a large conglomerate or small independent business, we look to honour anyone who has excelled in this sector.
Taking part in the AI Non-Profit Organisation Awards programme is the perfect way to show your employees that their efforts are valued by the organisation, whilst also providing the public with evidence of your successes as a 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 and mission statements are creating a buzz within the sector.
The AI Non-Profit Organisation Awards are a chance for you to reap the rewards that your hard work deserves. Whether 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.
The AI Non-Profit Organisation Awards are judged purely on a merit. To determine our lucky few, our in-house research team carefully analyse the information that is available both online and in the public domain as well as any materials supplied by nominees. Additionally, nominees are provided the opportunity to prepare a short case file disclosing details of their business sector and practice, as well as any previous accolades awarded. Case files, product samples and media packs are all accepted but are not mandatory to be included in the AI Business Non-Profit Organisation Awards programme. Our awards are based on merit, not the number of votes received. Our 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.
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, Harwinder Pawar by using the contact details provided.
Nominees are gained via our online nomination form from magazine subscribers, online visitors, social media following, clients and our wider circulation.
Those putting forward nominees are welcome to nominate their own firm or colleagues within their firm as well as third party businesses.
Acquisition International is part of the publishing house AI Global Media, the publishers also put forward nominees for consideration.
All those who formally accept their nomination will be asked if they would like to submit material for further consideration as supporting evidence.
We consider materials supplied by nominees, information on those nominated businesses available online and any information supplied with the original nomination.
Our research team who are highlighted below will assess all information presented when it comes to determining winners.
The team gather information independently from a number of publicly available sources, they will assess the material supplied by the nominees and by those who put them forward originally.

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."
