The GCI Alumni Impact Award honors GCI Alumni whose leadership, service, or professional work has produced meaningful and enduring change. This award recognizes Alumni who have taken the values cultivated through the GCI Fellowship and translated them into real-world action.
Nominees may be making an impact in their local community, advancing change within their field, or addressing global challenges in innovative and sustained ways. Impact may take many forms: building organizations, leading movements, shaping policy, mentoring others, advancing equity, or creating solutions that continue to ripple outward over time.
Members of the GCI community, including Alumni, families, educators, partners, and friends, are invited to submit nominations for Alumni whose work reflects the spirit of GCI in action and whose contributions merit recognition.
The winner of the GCI Alumni Impact Award will receive a custom plaque and $1,000 cash prize, awarded at the Gala Dinner on October 9, 2026, at the Harvard Club of NYC.
Nominations close on Friday, June 5, 2026.
