Recognizing the need for structured philanthropy in developing nations, LINK-UP’s Common Good Awards celebrates individuals and organizations positively impacting society, inspiring broader participation for collective progress.

In many developing countries, individuals generously support others informally, even amidst their own challenges. However, the lack of developed public giving systems limits collective impact. Structured, formal philanthropy is crucial for the common good of the wider society.

LINK-UP’s Awards for the Common Good promote this needed shift towards public, structured giving. The awards shine a spotlight on those who champion the common good beyond their immediate circles, celebrating individuals and organizations making a tangible, positive impact.

Our mission is twofold: to recognize these dedicated changemakers and to inspire others to join this vital effort. We honor innovative leaders across diverse fields—from healthcare and education to social justice and environmental sustainability—who address critical community and global challenges.

Through the awards, we build awareness and encourage collaboration among all working towards shared goals. Discover our past honorees and our ongoing efforts on our website. Whether you’re an individual or an organization, together, we can create a brighter future. Thank you for supporting this important work; we look forward to celebrating the next inspiring recipients together.
