Our awards celebrating members worldwide!
Our innovative work
The Rotary Club of Global Impact proudly honors its members with awards recognizing outstanding service, innovation, and dedication to humanitarian efforts. These accolades celebrate individuals, in new and innovative ways, who embody the club’s mission to create meaningful change locally and globally. Our awards are designed to break new ground in Rotary across the world. Through introspection and advisement, discussion and debate, the club has created unique internal awards starting in 2022. In 2023, President Mongiello created and awarded the Iannelli Silver Salver Foundation Platter and the Jennifer Award. The criteria set for both were:

The Rotary Club of Global Impact Iannelli Silver Salver Platter award recognizes work in the foundation and raising funds donated to the foundation. Here are some criteria that could be considered, year to year, as discussed initially and established under President Mongiello. The award is named after the Iannelli family:
- Fundraising Excellence: The recipient should have demonstrated outstanding success in raising funds for the foundation. This could include innovative fundraising strategies, effective donor engagement, and the ability to secure substantial financial support to advance the foundation's mission.
- Impactful Philanthropy: The recipient's efforts should have significantly contributed to the foundation's financial resources. The funds raised should have made a tangible and measurable impact on the foundation's ability to carry out its work, support its initiatives, and achieve its goals.
- Donor Relations and Stewardship: The recipient should have established and maintained strong relationships with donors, fostering a culture of philanthropy and long-term commitment. They should have demonstrated effective donor stewardship, recognized and appreciated donors' contributions, and ensured transparency in the use of funds.
- Innovation in Fundraising: The recipient should have brought innovation and creativity to their fundraising initiatives. This could include implementing new approaches, leveraging technology, exploring diverse funding sources, or developing unique campaigns or events that engage donors and attract financial support.
- Collaborative Partnerships: The recipient should have actively sought partnerships and collaborations to enhance fundraising efforts. This could involve engaging businesses, organizations, community groups, or other stakeholders to maximize the impact of fundraising activities and expand the foundation's reach.
- Ethical Fundraising Practices: The recipient should have demonstrated a commitment to ethical fundraising practices, adhering to recognized industry standards and regulations. They should have upheld principles of transparency, accountability, and responsible financial management, ensuring that donor funds are used effectively and efficiently.
Remember, these criteria are provided as a general guideline, and the specific criteria for the Rotary Club of Global Impact Iannelli Silver Salver Platter award may differ each year, whilst following these criteria, and to PULSE with modern occurrences. Not all of these criteria concerning the foundation and fundraising work need to be fulfilled. The President shall use their good sense and may decide to establish an awards committee.

The Jennifer Award celebrates the "Jenn" in every woman who can make it to the top - Like Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Nicole Lee, Jennifer Lopez, or Jennifer Jones (the first female President of Rotary International) (see more awesome Jenns here}. This is a personal office award for a stellar woman. Men and women voted from the club during the first year of the award, and Dr. Crawford sequestered herself from consideration. The first lady, Stormy Mongiello, was not permitted to be considered due to nepotism ethical guidelines afforded by then-President Martin Mongiello. In later years, the President awarded this trophy and could decide if they wanted to host a vote or simply select an awardee themselves.
