This award will be given to a nonprofit that measures success not just by meeting its mission, but by affecting the surrounding community. Impact goes beyond the number of children served, shelters provided, and mouths fed. Impact looks at how the organization impacted the Long Island community as a whole, and how the results have been measured.

**IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ: If your nonprofit generates LESS THAN $2 million in revenue, please apply for the Rising Star Award. You are NOT ELIGIBLE for the Social Impact Award.
