William G. McGowan Ethical Leader of the Year Award is sponsored by William G. McGowan Charitable Fund. This award recognizes and encourages principled leadership, with candidates (CEOs working in the United States) nominated and evaluated on their principles and practices by a panel of judges. The winner receives a grant to donate to a nonprofit of their choice.

Lowe's Hometowns Grant Program is sponsored by Lowe's. This program aims to restore and revitalize community spaces across the country through physical renovations. Consumers can nominate a community space in their hometown, such as a neighborhood garden, park, or community center. While broad, it can apply to infrastructure improvements within a community context.
