The Phillys. Not the baseball team or the cheese steak sandwiches. These awards are given out to Kansas City area nonprofits doing amazing things around the metro.
Nonprofit Connect , the group behind the awards, started out in the 1970s as the Council of Philanthropy. Philanthropy... Philly... get it?
215+ submissions were broken into three categories based on size. Nonprofit Connect then honored 70 organizations for excellence in marketing and communications. Among the winners were Best In-House (created internally) + Best In Class (receiving the most points).
