We’re thrilled to announce that DOROT has been named a finalist in the 4th Annual NYC Imagine Awards.

The NYC Imagine Awards was created to offer formal acknowledgment to some of NYC metro’s most effective and innovative nonprofit organizations. The 4th Annual NYC Imagine Awards nonprofit competition will take place on Tuesday, October 29, 2024 at Guastavino’s, 409 E. 59th St., NY, NY.

With over 230 applications submitted for consideration in 6 categories, including Innovation, Leadership Excellence, Rising Star, Social Impact, Arts & Culture and DEIA, DOROT is one of four finalists in the Social Impact category. The winners receive $5,000 and will be announced LIVE at the event. A special thanks to Webster Bank who will be providing each finalist with $1,000.

“We’re so honored to be named a finalist to the NYC Imagine Awards for our work of addressing social isolation among older adults and bringing the generations together,” said Mark Meridy, Executive Director of DOROT. “It’s especially meaningful right now, with the U.S. facing ‘an epidemic of loneliness and social isolation,’ that the NYC Imagine sponsors are helping draw attention to this critical issue."

Finalists were chosen by NYC business and nonprofit professionals during preliminary judging. Members of the Awards' Distinguished Judging Panel selected the NYC Imagine Awards winners from among the Finalists during final judging.

"The Imagine Awards honors the best of the best, so being named an Imagine Award finalist is a big deal," said NYC Imagine Awards founder Ken Cerini of Cerini & Associates, LLP.
