Five ways to become the Not-For-Profit of the Year

Not-for-profit businesses play a crucial role in any healthy region by addressing community needs, providing essential services, support, and resources and generally enhancing the quality of life for residents. 

Additionally, these organisations foster community cohesion and economic stability by creating jobs and mobilising volunteers dedicated to local causes. 

At the Hampshire Business Awards 2024, we’re looking to name the Not-For-Profit of the Year. Sponsored by Noble Holdings, this award celebrates the invaluable contributions of organisations dedicated to making a positive impact on society without the primary goal of financial gain. 

This category is open to not-for-profit companies including charities and CICs. 

As this category returns to the awards for its second year, how can you make sure that you’re giving yourself the best chance of taking home the trophy? Here are five things you should be focusing on: 

Demonstrating your impact 

The easiest way to impress our independent judges is to clearly demonstrate on your nomination form how your organisation is making a real positive change in the lives of Hampshire residents. We’re looking for a nominee whose impact is significant enough to set them apart as the definitive Not-For-Profit of the Year. 

Explaining your initiatives 

Spare no detail when entering the awards – this is your chance to showcase all of your incredible work! We want to hear about every detail of your initiatives, services and programmes from their cultural impacts and inner workings to their origins and effectiveness. 

Engaging your stakeholders 

A successful Not-For-Profit organisation is one that works closely with its network of stakeholders, whether they’re donors, volunteers, beneficiaries or involved in some other way, to ensure that its work is aligned with the needs and priorities of the surrounding community. 

Planning for the future 

We’re not just looking for the nominee who has seen the best results during the qualifying period, we’re looking for a truly remarkable organisation that has plans to continue its greatness well into the future. Tell us all about how you plan to continue to better the Hampshire region into 2025 and beyond.
