Join Us for the 2025 YNPN GR Leadership and Recognition Awards!
We are thrilled to announce the 2025 YNPN GR Leadership and Recognition Awards on October 9th, 2025, at the Goei Center in Grand Rapids! This year’s event theme, "Bridges of Impact," will highlight how nonprofits in West Michigan are building vital connections across communities, disciplines, and cultures to create lasting change.
The metaphor of building bridges speaks to the power of collaboration, unity, and inclusivity in the nonprofit sector. This event will celebrate the leaders and organizations who are forging connections between diverse groups, sectors, and individuals to drive positive transformation in our region. Their work is an embodiment of how nonprofits can bring people together, break down barriers, and build pathways toward a stronger, more connected community.
On October 9th, we’ll honor those whose leadership and commitment have created meaningful impact and lasting change by connecting people and organizations for a shared purpose. We’ll recognize the visionaries who are helping to build bridges of understanding, opportunity, and hope across West Michigan.
Don’t miss this special evening of celebration, inspiration, and connection. Save the date, and join us as we recognize the changemakers who are building bridges of impact throughout our community!
Stay tuned for more details and ticket information!
