Since 1968, the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities has presented Humanitarian Awards annually to honor individuals who have demonstrated a commitment to the promotion of respect and understanding among people of diverse racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. On occasion, local corporations or organizations are recognized with the Distinguished Merit Award for their efforts in making Virginia’s communities more inclusive.
2025 award recipients are Chris M. Boswell, James E. Coleman, Jr., Carl B. Hutcherson, Jr., and Priscilla M. Liggon. In addition, Camp Kum-Ba-Yah Nature Center will receive the Distinguished Merit Award.

In addition to honoring outstanding community members, the Humanitarian Awards Dinners also serve as a platform to showcase for the mission and programs of the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities.
