On behalf of DRiWaterstone Human Capital, I am pleased to announce that the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), CFRE International, and BetterWorld will serve as presenting sponsors of the inaugural America’s Most Admired Cultures Award, taking place on April 22 in Washington, DC.
We are deeply grateful for their partnership and proud to align this important initiative with three organizations that represent the very best of the nonprofit sector. Each of these institutions brings a distinguished history of leadership, a steadfast commitment to advancing impact, and a forward-thinking perspective that continues to shape the future of philanthropy and mission-driven work.
From the outset, our intention was to partner with organizations whose credibility and influence reflect the spirit of this award—one that recognizes nonprofit cultures where leadership, values, and measurable outcomes intersect to drive meaningful change. AFP, CFRE International, and BetterWorld embody these principles in both their work and their leadership across the sector.
As we prepare to celebrate the inaugural class of honorees, we are honored to do so alongside partners who elevate the standards of excellence and inspire organizations nationwide.
Doug Trout, CEO of DRiWaterstone, shared:
“We were intentional in seeking partners whose leadership and credibility are synonymous with excellence in the nonprofit sector. AFP, CFRE International, and BetterWorld each represent a distinct and powerful force for good—organizations that not only understand the importance of culture but actively shape it in ways that drive impact. Their partnership in launching America’s Most Admired Cultures Award reinforces the significance of this moment for our field.”
We look forward to celebrating with many of you on April 22.
With appreciation,
Doug Trout
Chief Executive Officer
