Looks to Celebrate Businesses that Champion Better Communities with
New National Business Award Series
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 15,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- With the goal of celebrating
companies that are making extraordinary contributions to their
communities, Culture of Good, Inc. has announced the launch of
its Community Impact Awards and the inaugural recipients. The
prestigious awards are made up of five categories and serve as a
testament to the growing need and the importance of making an
impact locally.
The Community Impact Awards aim to recognize and honor
businesses that have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to
community service and use their business as a force for positive
change in the world. The winners, who have each made an inspiring
impact, were selected through a rigorous evaluation process that
considers factors such as the scale of the impact, the
sustainability of the initiatives, and the level of employee
engagement.
This year's award categories include: Best Newcomer, Culture
Champion, Large Business, Medium Business, and Small Business. The
Best Newcomer award recognizes businesses that have been
established within the last five years, and Culture Champion honors
an individual within a company who is known as a change agent for
good.
"The Community Impact Award is not just an event; it's a
movement that recognizes businesses that authentically integrate
community impact into their core," shared Ryan McCarty, Co-Founder of Culture of Good.
"This inaugural event acknowledges those who set a benchmark in
positively impacting their community where they do business."

For companies and individuals who are a recipient of the awards

attracting top talent, meet and network with like-minded businesses
and leaders, retain current talent, boost employee morale, and
reduce turnover.
"We became involved with Culture of Good in 2021, and Ryan
really helped us define how we could fold our service-based mindset
into our mission and vision," said Jimmy
Rayford, CEO of Dealers Wholesale. "Since then, we've been
able to volunteer for homeless shelters, veteran's organizations
and pack over 40,000 meals to help with food insecurity in our
company. The best part is that our employees are more engaged than
ever and want to continue doing good."
Rayford also states that this award is a testament to his team's
work, and Dealers Wholesale hopes it can inspire other companies to
be more service-minded.
Looking ahead, the 2025 Community Impact Awards will launch in
October of 2024. The Culture of Good, Inc. invites companies that
prioritize making a positive impact on its communities through
business practices to participate. The upcoming awards, with even
more exciting plans for the future, aim to continue celebrating and
encouraging corporate social responsibility, further embedding the
ethos of community impact within the business world and inspiring
others to join them in doing good.
