Impact Momentum Awards 2024

At Impact, we’re excited to announce the recipients of our 2024 Momentum Awards, which will be given out at our 25th Anniversary Celebration on May 16, 2024. 

The first Momentum Awards were presented in 2007. After a hiatus of a few years, we’re delighted to be once again honoring individuals and groups activating the power of community as they build momentum toward positive social, economic, and civic impact. Their efforts take the form of outstanding volunteerism, activism, and/or advocacy in the four geographies where Impact works: East County, Gaithersburg, Long Branch, and Wheaton. We are also giving special awards to those boosting local economic power and fighting to end racism.
