Nonprofit communications professionals are tasked with telling the stories of often underrecognized, but immensely important, causes or organizations. Their goal is to raise awareness or funding for these initiatives. 

The winning PR professionals, teams and agencies in PR Daily's 2020 Nonprofit PR Awards did just that. They increased exposure and funding, built beneficial partnerships and helped tell the stories of these organizations and causes. 

Read on to learn more about the top winners and Honorable Mention recipients for PR Daily’s 2020 Nonprofit PR Awards. Follow the hashtag #PRDAwards to congratulate them on their impressive work.
