We are proud to present the first ever Nonprofit Trailblazers Awards for leaders who have dedicated their careers and lives to making the New York a better, safer place to live through adherence to the principles of charity, diversity, environmentalism, sustainability and governance – in other words, to those who make a positive impact on our city and state. These are individuals who have displayed entrepreneurial character, high standards, innovative professional practice and a committed support of their local community. On May 24, 2023, NYN Media hosted a special event honoring our winners at The Mezzanine in NYC.
