Announcing the 2020 Philanthropy Awards Honorees

We asked for your help in nominating leaders, philanthropists, employers, volunteers and youth who have stepped up for the East Bay in a time of profound need and you absolutely delivered.

In just one month, we were overwhelmed with story after story of compassion, commitment, and courage.

The Philanthropy Awards event may look a little different this year, but the heart of this event remains the same. The honorees represent the very best in our community and we cannot wait to celebrate them all on November 12.

After a painstaking and thoughtful selection process, we are excited to announce the honorees for the 10th Annual East Bay Philanthropy Awards presented by Wells Fargo.
