Thank you to everyone who was a part of this groundbreaking moment in the nonprofit sector! 

FAR is proud to have launched the Second Annual FAR Awards Program and Annual Meeting, a premier recognition initiative celebrating the individuals whose leadership, creativity, and dedication are moving our sector forward.

The FAR Awards Program honored outstanding professionals—both FAR members and non-members—who drove innovation, strengthened organizational excellence, and made a meaningful impact across the nonprofit community.

On September 16, we recognized this year’s Rising Star, C Suite of the Year, and Resource Member of the Year, celebrated the winner of the Membership Recruitment Contest, and highlighted the innovation happening across our network. 

During the Annual Meeting, we also shared the state of FAR and introduced the 2026–27 Board of Directors and Officers.
