Silicon Valley Corporate Citizenship / Partners in Philanthropy Awards

Overview

The Silicon Valley Corporate Citizenship / Partners in Philanthropy Awards (often branded as Corporate Citizenship Awards or Corporate Philanthropy honors) are regional recognitions by the Silicon Valley Business Journal celebrating companies and leaders that demonstrate outstanding corporate giving, volunteerism, and community impact in the Silicon Valley region. Run by the editorial team of the Silicon Valley Business Journal (part of American City Business Journals), they are pursued by companies seeking credible third-party recognition for social responsibility and philanthropic leadership. Honorees are selected through an editorial review process based on the merits of their community contributions rather than paid placements, giving the program solid regional credibility.
