The Non-Profit of the Year Award is given to a non-profit organization for their “exceptional achievements in meeting a defined public need in the Branson/Lakes Area.” Judges will consider if the organization shows a true passion for the community, is a “good steward” of donations, and uses “sound business practices” in advancing their cause.
