Late last week, PRNEWS announced Mission Partners among the world’s most impactful communicators, recognizing our agency with the 2024 Corporate Social Responsibility award. The award specifically recognizes our industry-leading efforts to advance equity in business ownership, citing our groundbreaking Social Entrepreneur-in-Residence program.

As PRNEWS stated in their announcement:

With nearly 90% of communications agency leadership identifying as White, Mission Partners invests in Black-led agencies that might have more limited access to the capital and resources than White-led firms typically do. By 2025, Mission Partners will invest $2.5M in Black- and women-led organizations through pro bono client support, direct shifts in capital, and a Social Entrepreneur-in-Residence program.”

The PRNEWS Impact Communications Awards honor communicators who use their platforms to better their community and the global community at large. Winners are the campaigns, initiatives, and communicators—whether internal or external—that are advancing the fight for global change. Runners-up in our category included Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City, Subaru, and Edelman.

“The winners for this year’s Impact Communications Awards are exemplary models of corporate social responsibility and diversity, equity, and inclusion,” added PRNEWS in its announcement of the winners.

Mission Partners was founded in 2017 on the premise that communication is one of the single greatest levers to advance social justice. Our firm partners with nonprofits, associations, foundations, and responsible businesses to uncover what stands in the way of organizational success. With a strategic eye—and always leading with empathy—Mission Partners supports clients as they navigate communications challenges, and we co-create strategies that move people to action.

In addition to this wonderful honor, Mission Partners was recognized as a Top Global Impact Company by Real Leaders Magazine last month.
