…For awards, and we’ve got another one to report here at DonorsChoose.org. On June 2^nd, DonorsChoose.org was named a ComputerWorld Honors Laureate and Finalist. What does this mean? DonorsChoose.org was recognized as an organization whose “use of information technology has been especially noteworthy for originality of conception, breadth of vision and significance to society.”

Thanks to our friends at Sapient, who nominated us for this award, we were selected to be one of about 200 Laureates, and were granted a further honor, designated as one of five finalists in the non-profit sector. The big day on June 2^nd included an awards ceremony, honoring and medaling all 200 laureates, and it finished with a beautiful gala at the Andrew Mellon Auditorium in Washington DC, where finalists and award winners were announced. I was on site, dining with our Sapient promoters and some fellow laureates, and I was pleasantly surprised to be called on stage to collect DonorsChoose.org’s finalist award. Here I am, beribboned, and awarded:

I can safely say we’re excited to keep using technology for good!
