BOK Financial is letting you help select winners of this year’s Champions of Change Awards AND decide who gets a share of a $10,000 grant that BOK will divide between the nonprofit organization and nonprofit leader of the year.

“The Champions of Change Awards spotlight those individuals and businesses in our communities who are truly moving the needle for Arizona,” says Amy Lindsey, publisher of AZ Big Media, which publishes Az Business magazine and seven other Arizona-based business publications along with this news website. “These are the game-changers — the individuals and businesses that truly impact the way we work, live, play and do business.”

The Champions of Change Awards recognize those dynamic innovators and trailblazers who are changing Arizona’s business landscape through leadership, visionary thinking and philanthropy and have earned the right to be called a Champion of Change. The Champions of Change Awards honor both individuals and organizations.

Here is the the link to vote for nonprofit organization and nonprofit leader of the year: https://forms.office.com/r/KQTiR5aEvX?origin=lprLink. Voting ends March 31, 2024.
