Celebration is Inspiration

We multiply good through the Jefferson Awards, a national program that has been honoring extraordinary achievement in public service since 1972. From our annual awards galas in New York and Washington, DC, to our ongoing recognition of unsung heroes through local media outlets, organizations, schools and partner organizations, we honor those who put others first because we know that recognizing and elevating greatness is a powerful way to inspire greater acts of good.
