To honor its many donors and volunteers, the Treasure Coast Chapter has established the following recognition categories:
- Individual Philanthropist

- Corporate Philanthropist
- Group or Foundation Supporting Philanthropy
- Youth in Philanthropy
- Unsung Hero
- The Legacy Award

“Receiving the Outstanding Individual Philanthropist Award was both humbling and validating for me. I love my community so much, and although I’ve never sought accolades or awards, when this honor was presented to me, I was incredibly moved.” State Representative Dana Trabulsy.
