The power of one person can create a ripple of positive change throughout the community, the nation, and the world.
It’s Your Turn to Grow the Ripple!
As a past Making a Difference Award winner, you know what it takes to create real change.
As we close out the Russ Berrie Making a Difference Award in 2026, we’re giving Honorees a special opportunity to nominate NJ Changemakers who should be recognized in the final year.
This is an exclusive campaign, only open to the past Honoree community. We want the final group of Honorees to reflect your collective wisdom and experience.
Up to 15 nominees will be selected to receive a cash award of up to $15,000
