Headquarters	Wilmington, Delaware
Website	www.multiplyinggood.org

Multiplying Good, formerly the Jefferson Awards for Public Service, was created in 1972 by the American Institute for Public Service.^[1][2] The organization officially launched its new brand, with its slogan "The Power of Service to Others," on February 13th, 2019, in an effort to more closely align the foundations' name with its mission. The organization seeks to multiply good in four distinct but related ways: The Jefferson Awards for Public Service, Youth Programs, Champions Programs, and Media Partners.The Jefferson Awards are given at both national and local levels, and recognize those individuals who have embodied the spirit of service that the organization was founded with.^[3] Local winners are ordinary people who do extraordinary things without expectation of recognition and come from national networks of "Media Partners" and "Corporate Champions", and from the associated "Students In Action", Lead360 and GlobeChangers programs. Multiplying Good is led by its CEO, Hillary Schafer, its president, Sam Beard, and its chairman, Jack Russi, in conjunction with the Foundation's board of governors.

The Jefferson Awards for Public Service

The Jefferson Awards Foundation, the historic service recognition platform of Multiplying Good, "recognizes, inspires and activates volunteerism and public service in communities, workplaces and schools across America." The Institute was founded in 1972 by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, U.S. Senator Robert Taft, Jr. and Sam Beard.

History

In 1972, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, U.S. Senator Robert Taft, Jr., and Samuel Beard founded the Jefferson Awards for Public Service to establish the nation's premier public service award. The Jefferson Awards is led by the board of Selectors who choose the national winners and oversee the activities of the organization. In 2019, in order to reflect the evolving purpose and intention of the organization, The Jefferson Awards Foundation rebranded itself as Multiplying Good. The new brand officially launched on February 13, 2019.

National Awards Ceremony

The awards are presented each year during a ceremony in Washington, D.C. in June, where a broad array of honorees are recognized. Also recognized are organizations – companies that represent the pinnacle in corporate citizenship and schools that best reflect the Jeffersonian ideals of citizen involvement.

Youth Programs

In the past decade, Multiplying Good has been placing an increasing amount of emphasis on connecting with young people around the country in the hopes of fostering in them a belief in, and passion for, service. It does so through its Students in Action program, its youth leadership training program, and its recognition of young philanthropists.

Students in Action

Students In Action (SIA) is a unique youth service, leadership and recognition program that supports, trains and empowers today's youth to be leaders, problem solvers, entrepreneurs and impactful global citizens.^[47] Thousands of students have taken part in this program so far, and nearly all of them report feeling a greater sense of empowerment and a larger appreciation for the value of service.

Youth Leadership Training

Multiplying Good, through its Youth Leadership Training programs, seeks to provide young people with the skills that they need to turn their ideas for service into reality. The programs are designed not only to instill in the youths who take part the value of service, but also to teach them the practical skills that they need to be effective leaders and servants of their communities.

Youth Service Recognition

The recognition piece of Multiplying Good's youth programming was designed to reinforce the importance and value of philanthropic work in the minds of those young people who receive awards. Even further, it can help teach important skills, such as public speaking and presentation skills.

Champions

The Champions program of Multiplying Good was designed as a means of recognizing the philanthropic achievements and inclinations of the employees of some of the most successful companies in the United States. The hope is that, in doing so, not only will the good that these individuals have done be multiplied, but that there will also be fostered more profound senses of philanthropy and empathy in the company. Through its Champion Partners, Multiplying Good accesses a network of nearly 7.1 million employees nationwide.^[48]

Media Partners

Through its Media Partners, Multiplying Good is able to connect with unsung heroes in communities around the US. The Media Partners provide both a means of connecting with communities around the country and a source of nominations for local Jefferson Awards. There is also a connection to the core values of Multiplying Good. The Media Partners multiply the good of the service provides by men and women around the country by connecting their stories to a larger social narrative. As of today, the Media Partners program reaches over 100 million people around the country, and has awarded over 60,000 Jefferson Awards to American grassroots heroes.^[49]
