The recognition also included a surprise $25,000 gift, honoring the nonprofits' commitment to improving communities around Arkansas. Other recipients included Immerse Arkansas, Excel by Eight, Providence Park, and the Wolfe Street Foundation. Accepting the award on behalf of Restore Hope was executive director Paul Chapman.
