Nonprofit News Awards

The Nonprofit News Awards, or INNYs, honor excellence in journalism, leadership and community service across the field of nonprofit news.

The INNYs include and go beyond traditional award categories like “best investigative journalism” to recognize what differentiates nonprofit news – values like collaboration, innovation and impact. The awards are open to all news organizations that are members of the Institute for Nonprofit News (INN).

In 2025, entries will be accepted in May.  The awards event will be held on September 10 in New Orleans (venue TBD).
