The Anthem Awards named Let’s Choose Love a winner in its 3rd annual international awards competition. The nonprofit captured a Bronze Level prize in the category of Community Outreach - Education, Art, & Culture. The Anthem Awards celebrate the purpose and mission-driven work of individuals, companies, and organizations worldwide. They are selected by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, which also presents the Webby Awards, and whose members include leaders from The Atlantic, Nike Purpose, (RED), NAACP, Ben & Jerry’s and The Oprah Winfrey Charitable Foundation. Past winners include the Malala Fund, National Geographic, American Red Cross and the World Economic Forum.
“There isn’t anything better than being recognized for making a positive impact in the world,” said Let’s Choose Love Founder Wendy B. White. “This award gives us a whole new level of credibility that will support our growth and development and allow us to help more people make a difference.” Based in Asheville, NC and Durango, CO Let’s Choose Love is a social movement bringing more love into the world in all forms and sizes. The 501(c)(3) funds projects that enrich local communities across the United States. The organization not only provides grants, but also offers free coaching sessions with a business consultant and marketing and publicity support.
“I’ve always been a believer in the idea that people in local communities have their own knowledge and wisdom and they have their own solutions. They just may not have the technical expertise, or the funds to make something happen,” explained White.
Since its founding in 2021, Let’s Choose Love has provided more than $80,000 to support 84 projects, in seven key areas: arts and culture, education, wellness, diversity, equity & inclusion, women & youth, environment & climate and social justice. Project examples include community gardens in food deserts, feminine hygiene packets for under-resourced high school and middle school students, and STEM education kits designed to increase access to STEM learning for children worldwide, developed by high school robotic teams.
Wendy White hopes the attention generated from the Anthem Awards will encourage donors and businesses to support Let’s Choose Love’s work. The organization is primarily funded through Continuum Consulting LLC , a strategic consulting firm she runs with two partners. White has plans to hire a director this year and launch a podcast and or YouTube channel to broaden awareness of the projects and people making an impact through Let’s Choose Love.
