HRC Org of the Year With so many worrying matters going on in the world today, I always love to hear success stories from our Clients – to know that differences are still being made and impacts are being recognized. The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) has accomplished so much this year – we previously blogged about their amazing success with the New Yorkers for Marriage Equality Campaign in June when New York joined 6 other states in legalizing same-sex marriage. Now along with this emotive accomplishment and many others throughout 2011, the DMA Nonprofit Federation is naming HRC the 2011 recipient of its prestigious Nonprofit Organization of the Year Award.

The award recognizes a nonprofit who:

Has an outstanding record of sustained achievement in direct marketing fundraising and has consistently demonstrated successful financial performance
Is a recognized leader with a solid reputation for excellence in the nonprofit and direct marketing communities and with the public at large
Meets the high ethical standards of the nonprofit community, and complies with generally accepted standards for management and public disclosure
Has demonstrated innovative direct marketing techniques

HRC is fittingly being recognized everywhere right now for receiving the distinguished award. Fundraising Success acclaimed HRC's triumph in a recent press release along with an article by The Nonprofit Times saluting the grassroots force of more than 750,000 members and supporters.
