Five nonprofit websites by Madeo honored at the 2026 Anthem Awards

We are honored that five of our projects were recognized at the 2026 Anthem Awards. All of our partners work across a wide variety of topics, and now, each of them has a digital experience that helps them share their knowledge, connect their communities, and move people to act. We are grateful to celebrate the long-term collaboration and partnerships that led to this moment. 

Food Policy Hub: Gold Anthem Award — Health

Food Policy Hub is a global platform for people and organizations working toward a healthier food environment. It provides evidence-informed resources for policymakers, journalists, researchers, and advocates, with the goal of improving food regulations and encouraging healthier diets worldwide.

Madeo was invited to the project by Vital Strategies, the nonprofit overseeing the program’s communications. Madeo led the Hub’s branding, from naming and brand identity to its brand guidelines, and then Madeo designed and developed its website. Inspired by the way these policies build on one another to create change, the website organizes resources into curated toolkits so advocates can quickly find the evidence and case studies they need to transform food environments.

14th Amendment Center: Silver Anthem Award — Human & Civil Rights

The 14th Amendment Center for Law and Democracy at Howard Law School is a hub for legal scholarship, advocacy, and strategic convening focused on advancing democracy and equal rights. Led by Sherrilyn Ifill, former president and director-counsel of the Legal Defense Fund, the Center works to protect the 14th Amendment’s guarantees of citizenship, equal protection, and due process.

Madeo created the brand identity and the website. Madeo designed and developed the website to introduce the organization at a critical moment in time for birthright citizenship. The website gives scholars, advocates, and the public a place to follow the Center’s work and convenings, find the latest analyses, access unique artifacts and resources, and understand what’s at stake for the 14th Amendment in plain language.

Glisten: Silver Anthem Award — Belonging & Inclusion

Glisten (formerly GLSEN) was founded in 1990 by educators to advance justice for LGBTQ+ youth in K-12 schools. Today, it supports educators nationwide, powers youth-led movements, conducts original research, and produces resources and evidence-based policies for safe, affirming schools.

As part of a comprehensive rebrand, Madeo redesigned Glisten’s website from the ground up. Built around the connection and belonging at the heart of the Glisten community, the site serves the different needs of students, educators, researchers, policymakers, and advocates, making it easier to find a local chapter, start or join a student group, and access critical resources.

Acumen Annual Report: Silver Anthem Award — Humanitarian Action & Services

Acumen is a global force of entrepreneurs, investors, and philanthropists working together to solve the toughest problems of poverty. Named to Fast Company’s 2026 Most Innovative Companies list, Acumen invests in companies and leaders who prioritize impact over short-term gain.

For its Annual Report, Acumen invited Madeo to turn a year of complex, global work into an interactive, scroll-driven experience. Centered on climate resilience and energy access, the report pairs full-bleed photography and animated data visualizations with the stories of investees, from a company preserving native cacao to off-grid solar that reached more than 165,000 people, 83% of whom were accessing electricity for the first time.

Innocence Project: Gold Anthem Award — Special Projects

The Innocence Project works to free the wrongfully convicted and create fair, compassionate, and equitable systems of justice for everyone. As America marks 250 years since the Declaration of Independence, the Innocence Project’s Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness: Portraits of a Promise Broken and Restored asks what freedom means for people who had it taken by the criminal legal system.

Madeo was proud to design the web experience, building on more than a decade of partnership with the Innocence Project.

We are grateful to Food Policy Hub, the 14th Amendment Center, Glisten, Acumen, and the Innocence Project for trusting us with their work and allowing us the opportunity to support their communities.
