The Purpose Awards 2026

With Not For CEO and Co-Founder Kelly Gordon joins the panel of judges.

Supported by leading titles like Campaign, PRWeek, and Third Sector, The Purpose Awards celebrate the campaigns that successfully merge significant social impact with clear business results. The awards praise work and impact the visionary people, dedicated teams, and forward-thinking organisations behind them - so we are thrilled that Kelly will be contributing to recognise and acknowledge impact being made as a judge.

“I’m thrilled to be a judge for the Purpose Awards 2026 because purpose isn’t a ‘nice to have’, it’s a leadership choice. These awards shine a light on organisations that are bold enough to put impact at the heart of everything they do and those who are brave enough to lead with values, not just numbers."

The panel of judges features industry-leading professionals with individual expertise and a shared commitment to transformative initiatives. We’re looking forward to seeing who they honour collectively. In the meantime, there’s still time to enter. The submission deadline is Thursday 19 February, click here to find out more.
