Social Investor magazine, launched in 2019 by New Zealand-born entrepreneur and philanthropist, Richard Chandler, who recognized that there was no peer-to-peer publication exclusively dedicated to guiding ultra-high-net-worth individuals on their philanthropic journey, has won a Gold "Stevie Award" in the category of nonprofit publication from the 2023 American Business Awards.

The American Business Awards are the U.S.’s premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S. are eligible to submit nominations – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small. More than 3,700 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration.

The judges recognized Social Investor magazine as an "Excellent publication, filling a necessary niche," And remarked that, "This publication should serve as an inspiration for all investors."

These leaders, hailing from the Americas to Zimbabwe and Somalia to Singapore, share the insights they’ve gained while working to achieve durable impact at scale.
