Each year, The Nonprofit Times names a list of top leaders in the nonprofit sector to honor at its annual gala. This year. DonorsTrust President and CEO Lawson Bader is among the honorees for his leadership of DonorsTrust, nonprofit board service, and outspoken voice for philanthropic freedom.

“What donor-advised funds will and won’t support has become a hot issue, but Bader has been steadfast. He ensures that DonorsTrust promotes charities that address civic concerns without advocating for an increase in the scope and scale of government,” writes The Nonprofit Times.
