August 28, 2020 – D Magazine – Christine Perez
Bolstered by deep corporate support, Dallas-Fort Worth has one of the most powerful nonprofit communities in the country. Its strength was on full display and celebrated this week as 20 winners were revealed at D CEO’s third annual Nonprofit and Corporate Citizenship Awards, presented in partnership with the Communities Foundation of Texas.
Celebrating the efforts of local nonprofit organizations and professionals, and the companies and business leaders who support them, the program saw the addition of two new COVID-19 categories to honor the region’s response to the pandemic. Winners were Kimberly-Clark Corp. on the corporate side, and United Way of Metropolitan Dallas on the nonprofit side. Other winners include Craig Hall (Corporate Leadership Excellence), Dallas Mavericks and Mavericks Foundation (Corporate Social Responsibility), and The Family Place’s Paige Flink (Nonprofit Leadership Excellence).
Mark Cuban was honored with a special Community Hero Award.
The competition was particularly tough as D CEO received more than 510 nominations this year. Below is a list of winners and finalists in each category.
