The 2022 .ORG Impact Awards – Celebrating the world's most impactful .ORGs
Life’s greatest accomplishments have always started with change – brought to life by people who looked at the world with all of its imperfections, and saw how it should – and could – be. Those who selflessly assembled behind a singular vision and made it a reality. Because true impact happens when we organize and work together.
Over the past three years, Public Interest Registry celebrated .ORGs working in their communities and across the world to enact impactful change. But the world never stops moving and champions never sleep. These special individuals and organizations are those who say to each other, “We can do even more.”
This year’s 4th annual .ORG Impact Awards recognizes these changemakers and their continued commitment to inspiring and making real impact across the globe. The mission-driven .ORG Community has accomplished much and we commend and celebrate their restless passion for continuing to push forward, to grow, to make the world into what it should be.
