Grace Hill Impact Hero Awards | Nominate a Hero

Impact Hero Awards Program

Recognize heroes making a difference in our industry and in their local area.

Is there an Impact Hero at your company?

At Grace Hill, we’re committed to making a positive corporate and community-based impact. That’s why we’re thrilled to continue our Impact Hero Awards program, which recognizes individuals at Grace Hill client companies who go above and beyond to help others and make a difference in their local community. Do you have a co-worker who consistently gives back to others by serving at a local homeless or animal shelter? Or perhaps your hero has started a nonprofit helping foster children or simply gives back to the community in other ways.

Nominations are open for 2026. Recognize an impact hero in your community — submit your nomination or learn more about last year's winner and finalists.

For any questions related to current or previous nominations, please email marketing@gracehill.com.

Who can I nominate?

Impact Hero nominees must be Grace Hill clients to be eligible. This includes Realync and HelloData clients. We often hear of our customers’ dedication to serving others, and the Impact Hero Award is a chance to show appreciation for those efforts. Nominate yourself or anyone in your company who makes a difference.

How do I nominate my hero?

Recognizing your Impact Hero is easy! We love your stories, so please share as many details as you can. Photos are required to complete your nomination. The more you share, the better we can tell your hero's story.
