Jefferson Awards given out by our Media Partners
By sharing inspiring news stories under the umbrella of a national brand, our partners generate non-traditional revenue and foster greater audience engagement. We understand that resources can be limited, so we offer robust programming that allows you to share compelling local stories.
As a Media Partner, you identify unsung heroes in your community and tell their stories across your platforms. Honoring them with a Jefferson Award lifts up the community and all those around you.
Honoring public service in your local community is a powerful way to engage your audiences. It demonstrates your commitment to uniting the community around good, while connecting you and them to a nationally-recognized brand and community of service.
We position you to exclusively represent the best of your community. Local businesses are eager to connect their brand with yours in support of positive stories of service - offering you a platform for non-traditional revenue opportunities.

On average, our Media Partners give out between 5 and 52 Jefferson Awards each year, depending on the cadence you choose and your resources with which to tell the stories.
The Jefferson Awards offers something exciting, new and positive to sell to local sponsors. We will work with you to identify and secure new dollars to support the stories you tell.
Make a call for nominations across your platforms to find the best grassroots unsung heroes to celebrate. This offers another connection point to actively engage your audiences in good.
You build a local panel of judges who will determine the most compelling stories to tell. These panels include your sponsors, staff, past winners and influential community members.
Depending on the number of awards you choose to give, you will produce stories on air, in print and online each week, bi-weekly or each month. Many Media Partners also host an annual "Salute to Service" bringing together all their recipients in an underwritten in-person ceremony to celebrate together.
An added unique benefit of the Jefferson Awards is our National Awards Ceremony. You’ll choose one unsung hero to attend this ceremony, and that individual will compete to receive one of five annual Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Awards for Outstanding Service Benefiting Local Communities.
Fees depend on your level of engagement and range from no cost to $5,000.
News outlets may have local franchises that celebrate local volunteers. At Multiplying Good, we have created a platform where those stories are shared more frequently in the news and elevates those stories to a national stage. Connecting to the Multiplying Good Jefferson Awards platform enables our partners and the Jefferson Award recipients to connect to a broader community of like-minded individuals. With ongoing training and support, our partners have effectively proven to increase nontraditional revenue through a program that highlights the good in local communities.
Our team will work with you to build a Multiplying Good Jefferson Awards campaign that fits your community. We offer an easy-to-use nomination form, turnkey guide, digital assets, and year-round support. Support is available in the areas of branding, selection of recipients, finding non-traditional revenue and making the travel arrangements for your recipient to come to the National Jefferson Awards Ceremony.
You make a call for nominations, gather nominations, select winners and give out Jefferson Awards year-round. By April 1st, we need to know which grassroots unsung hero will join us at the National Jefferson Awards Ceremony. If your local recipients is going to receive a national Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Award, you’ll be notified (embargoed) by mid-May.
