Do you work or partner with a company that is invested in making Atlanta great? Consider nominating them for a Corporate Volunteer Council (CVC) of Atlanta 2025 IMPACT Award! Now in its 28th year, the IMPACT Awards honor companies that demonstrate excellence in corporate community engagement in three award categories:

  • IMPACT Corporate Program of the Year: Celebrating exemplary corporate employee volunteer or social responsibility programs that effectively integrate community service into the company’s culture. 
  • IMPACT Corporate Innovative Project of the Year: Recognizing businesses that have completed innovative, impactful short-term employee engagement or social impact projects. 
  • IMPACT Corporate Skills-Based Award: Honoring companies that have utilized specific employee skills to support nonprofit or community partners, promoting professional growth among its workforce. 
Chick-fil-A was recognized by the CVC with a 2024 IMPACT Award for Corporate Innovative Project of the Year

Winners will be announced at the CVC’s IMPACT Awards luncheon on Tuesday, September 9, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at The Dogwood. This year’s event is presented by Diamond Sponsor Delta Air Lines and promises to inspire and delight attendees with a delicious meal by Proof of the Pudding, an inspiring keynote speaker, live music, and a service activity. More than 350 business and community leaders are expected to attend.

She continued, “This year’s program promises fun surprises, unforgettable moments, and a celebration of the businesses that are making a strategic difference. You’ll leave feeling uplifted, motivated, and proud to be part of a purpose-driven community.”
