Celebrating Impact, Inspiring Tomorrow

Be a part of this groundbreaking moment in the nonprofit sector! 

FAR is proud to launch 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 honor outstanding professionals—both FAR members and non-members—who are driving innovation, strengthening organizational excellence, and making a meaningful impact across the nonprofit community.

Join us on September 16 as we recognize this year’s Rising Star, C Suite of the Year, and Resource Member of the Year, celebrate the winner of the Membership Recruitment Contest, and highlight the innovation happening across our network. Anticipation is building as we prepare to celebrate and announce the recipients of the FAR Awards! Stay tuned!

During the Annual Meeting, we will also share the state of FAR and introduce the 2026–27 Board of Directors and Officers.
