Meet the 11 outstanding nonprofits that took home this year’s Classy Awards
Each organization has gone above and beyond to make our world a better place.

Give these organizations all the awards
Since 2009, the Classy Awards have celebrated nonprofits for their unique approaches to making our world a better place for everyone. Winners are given a platform to amplify their cause and showcase the positive impact of their programs.
This year, we are proud to announce that the Classy Awards have partnered with Upworthy, and we are thrilled to shine a spotlight on the 2023 winners.
From championing gender equality, to massively reducing food waste, to providing trade-based skills training to the neurodivergent community, each organization has made an incredible contribution to the betterment of our world.
Collectively through their efforts, nearly 1.5 million people and animals were served across 34 countries worldwide last year alone. That’s a win in itself.

Everyone for Veterans
Back in 2008, Dr. Theresa Cheng began offering free dental care to several combat veterans and their spouses at her private practice. After seeing how greatly underserved the veteran community was regarding dental services, she rallied other colleagues to create Everyone for Veterans, a nonprofit that provides veterans with free resources, support, and comprehensive dental care, empowering them to lead healthy and fulfilled lives at zero cost.
