CGM is a unique impact marketplace that bridges the gap between funders and creators of social impact. Using its proprietary impact framework, CGM measures, values, independently verifies, and delivers impact through Verified Impact Assets (VIAs). Once issued on the marketplace, funders can purchase these VIAs, which are uniquely claimed by the buyer. The funds from these transactions go directly to the organizations delivering the impact, ensuring that investments drive real, measurable change.

“The Winners of this year’s Anthem Awards are truly inspiring and I am honored to help elevate their impact,” said Anthem Awards General Manager, Patricia McLoughlin. “At this moment, there is a lot of uncertainty in our world, but the tireless and extraordinary efforts of the Anthem Awards community provide hope that a better tomorrow is possible. Thank you to everyone doing this work and making an impact.”

"We're so grateful to be awarded by Anthem for our innovative work in the Humanitarian Action & Services category!" said Greg Spencer, CEO of Common Good Marketplace. "To be listed alongside leading organizations like Global Clinton Initiative, World Food Program and Pepsico Foundation is an honor. It also speaks to the quality of the work of our partner MiracleFeet and their enduring commitment to transform the lives of children by curing clubfoot."

By amplifying the voices that spark global change, the Anthem Awards are defining a new benchmark for impactful work that inspires others to take action in their communities.
