The P3 Impact Award was created by the U.S. Department of State’s Office of Global Partnerships, Concordia, and the University of Virginia Darden School Institute for Business in Society to recognize and honor leading public-private partnerships (P3s) that improve communities and the world. Inaugurated in 2014, the P3 Impact Award is presented each fall at the Concordia Summit in New York, New York.
The P3 Impact Award recognizes and honors leading public-private partnerships that are improving local communities and the world in the most impactful ways. The award gives partnership practitioners the opportunity to reflect on current developments in P3 implementation, as well as inspiration for further innovation. For this award, a P3 refers to any cross-sector collaboration that features public, private, nonprofit, or non-governmental organizations and addresses societal problems.
The U.S. Department of State Office of Global Partnerships (GP), along with Concordia and the University of Virginia Darden School of Business Institute for Business in Society, have opened the application process for the 2020 P3 Impact Award.

The program is designed to address common challenges and questions experienced by early-stage multi-sector partnerships.
To participate, partnerships must have applied for the 2020 P3 Impact Award but cannot have advanced as 2020 P3 Impact Award Finalists.
