For more than 25 years, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Corporate Citizenship Awards (“Citizens Awards”) have highlighted how businesses serve as a force for good, expanding opportunity and driving progress in every aspect of society. Businesses of any size can nominate itself or by a third party. There are 8 categories, including Best Corporate Stewardship: Small and Middle-Market Businesses for a company that conducts its business in a way that creates “shared value” for shareholders, customers, employees, and communities. There’s no cost for nominations. There are no prizes or cash rewards, but instead extensive public recognition. The deadline for submitting a nomination: June 19, 2026. #IdeaoftheDay
