Meet the 2026 Goodie Awards Finalists

The Goodie Awards recognize organizations setting a new standard for corporate purpose — not just through bold ideas, but through real, measurable impact.

They’re activating their people, deepening nonprofit partnerships and leveraging trusted infrastructure to respond — quickly, securely and meaningfully — when it matters most.

Winners, including for the BUFFY and the Bestie, will be announced live at the Goodie Awards show on June 4, 2026 at Benevity Live!.

What sets this year apart

Across every category, a few themes stood out for 2026:

Global scale. Local relevance.

‍Global frameworks, activated locally. ERGs and regional leaders are driving impact on the ground — ensuring support reaches the right communities with precision and authenticity.

Trust over transactions.

‍Flexible funding. Skills-based volunteering. Fewer barriers. These organizations are shifting power to nonprofits — enabling them to focus on delivering impact, not managing admin.

Innovation that delivers.

‍From AI-driven decisions to leveraging proprietary data and logistics, finalists are solving complex challenges — faster, smarter and at scale.

Purpose that performs.

‍Impact is embedded across the business — tied to strategy, owned cross-functionally and increasingly linked to executive accountability. The result: stronger engagement, retention and measurable brand value.
