Nominate Stories for 2027

Nominate Stories for our 2027 Publishing Cycle

Who is inspiring you to care for your neighbor, seek justice, show compassion, and feel hope? 

Every year, BitterSweet Monthly asks our community to nominate nonprofit organizations (both local and global) that use imaginative, subversive, and inspiring solutions to address the challenges of the modern world.  

Selection Criteria

We review every nomination according to the following criteria: 

  1. Is the organization addressing an issue that matches our focus areas for the year? 
  2. How established is the organization? Has their impact been validated by reliable third parties? 
  3. Are there meaningful ways for our audience to get involved with the organization’s work? 
  4. Would the organization benefit from creative and storytelling resources? 

We work with our core contributors to review nominations and select those that best align with our purpose.

2027 Focus Areas 

We identify focus areas each year that feel most relevant in our own backyard and around the world. In 2027, we’re particularly interested in these topics: 

  • Care for Neighbor: From refugee and immigrant services to food access to economic empowerment, we’re looking for examples of people caring well for those around them. 

  • Care for the Planet: From environmental advocacy to regenerative agriculture to clean energy, we want to hear about people caring well for the home we all share. 

How It Works

  1. Nominate: Submit an organization or initiative you believe should be featured in BitterSweet Monthly. 
  2. Review: Our editorial team evaluates nominations and creates a shortlist. 
  3. Story Slate Debate: Contributors review and rank shortlisted stories based on mission, impact, and feasibility.
  4. Production: We produce and publish the selected stories with support from our community of generous donors.
