2021 Australian Impact Investment Awards Nominations Now Open
Nominations are now open for the 2021 Australian Impact Investment Awards. The deadline for nominations is Wednesday 1 December.
The 2021 Australian Impact Investment Awards offer an opportunity for organisations and individuals to showcase and be recognised for their expertise, commitment and outstanding activity in the Australian impact investing ecosystem.
The Awards are designed around similar criteria and categories to the Global Steering Group’s (GSG) Awards and are a collaboration between the Impact Investment Summit Asia Pacific and the Impact Investing Hub (developed and managed by the Social Impact Hub).
“It is wonderful to have something to celebrate at the end of such a difficult year” said Jessica Roth, Founder and Director of the Social Impact Hub.
“We strongly encourage everyone in the impact ecosystem to nominate organisations and people for an award as this just adds fuel to the growth in the movement for transformational change we would all like to see,” said Alex Feher, Founder and CEO Impact Investment Summit Asia Pacific.
The Awards celebrate leaders in the following categories:
Impact Asset Owner: For asset owners directing their capital to impact, including institutional investors, philanthropists, high net worth individuals, family offices, corporations, banks, governments, and development finance institutions.
Impact Asset Manager: For impact fund managers and other banks, deal makers or intermediaries placing or allocating impact capital.
Impact Entrepreneur: For leaders with catalytic impact on our lives or the planet through profit with purpose companies (social enterprises), non-government organisations or non-profit social service providers with earned-income models.
Impact Market Builder: For infrastructure, knowledge or field development for policy advocates, professional service providers (such as research, advising, consulting or impact measurement), government agency, media outlet or individual.
Individual Outstanding Achievement Award: For an individual that has made an outstanding achievement in the past year to support the growth of the Australian impact investment market.
