DSA Awards

DSA VISION FOR TOMORROW RECOGNITION
NEW FORMAT FOR 2009!

Direct selling companies help millions of people every year through their earning opportunities – but for many companies, charitable giving also makes up an important part of their corporate structure. Whether through a monetary gift or the dedication of human resources, each company has a unique way to give back to their community – whether local or global. Programs are rarely comparable, but each is significant in its own way.

The incidence of success in charitable among direct selling companies is so great and so diverse it has become nearly impossible to recognize just one or even a handful of direct selling companies. In recognition of the hundreds of direct selling companies that have worked either publicly or silently to improve the lives of others, DSA will recognize the charitable giving efforts of member companies in several ways:

  • An annual calculation of the total amount of charitable giving by USDSA member companies.
  • An annual industry charitable giving report with special features on select charitable giving programs.
  • A certificate of participation for all companies submitting the details of their charitable giving programs along with recognition at the Annual Meeting.
  • A program logo for use by participating companies.
  • Several companies will be featured in video vignettes or displays during DSA Annual Meeting and on DSA’s Web site.

Who is eligible to enter:
Direct selling member companies

Criteria:
Each participating company must submit a completed program application that describes the company’s charitable giving activities including the company’s charitable giving philosophy, total amount donated (in the case of human resources, include a description of these resources and dollar equivalent), organizations benefitting from the company’s activities and decision-making process for charitable giving activities. All companies submitting complete information will be recognized.

SPECIAL NOTE:

Prior to 2009 the Vision for Tomorrow Award was presented annually to the company that best exemplified the virtue of selflessly giving back to the community. However, the concept of "giving back" is a core mission for so many companies it became nearly impossible to choose just one company to recognize. The award was expanded in 2009 to recognize all companies with a charitable giving program.
