Mobilize Recovery is honored to announce that we’ve been recognized across seven categories at this year’s Anthem Awards, including being named the 2025 Small Nonprofit of the Year.

The Small Nonprofit of the Year distinction is awarded to the most successful small nonprofit across all categories in this year’s competition, and it reflects the work of thousands of people who power this movement every day. From local leaders and community organizers to our national partners and volunteers, this recognition belongs to everyone in the recovery movement.

Alongside the Small Nonprofit of the Year Award, our Mobilize Recovery Across America 2024 Bus Tour received six additional honors:

• Gold Winner — Health: Campaign – Non-Profit
• Gold Winner — Health: Special Projects
• Silver Winner — Health: Special Projects
• Silver Winner — Health: National Awareness Campaign
• Silver Winner — Health: Community Event
• Anthem Community Voice — Health: Campaign – Non-Profit

Our 2024 national bus tour brought people together in communities nationwide to advance connection, access to support, and lifesaving resources. Receiving top honors across multiple categories underscores the power of collective action and the impact of a movement led by people with lived experience.

Every story shared, mile traveled, resource distributed, partnership formed, and conversation sparked helped turn this project into an award-winning national effort for health, hope, and connection.

We're thrilled to celebrate this moment, and can’t wait to continue building a stronger, more compassionate, recovery-ready future—together.
