LEHI, Utah — August 31, 2026 — Proximity is celebrating a milestone from earlier this year: three Gold Stevie® Awards won in the Tech Startup of the Year, Relationship Management Solution, and Public Service & Activism App categories in The 24th Annual American Business Awards®.
More than 3,700 nominations from individuals and organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories, including Startup of the Year, Executive of the Year, Best New Product or Service of the Year, Marketing Campaign of the Year, Thought Leader of the Year, and App of the Year, among others. Proximity was nominated in the Tech Startup of the Year, Relationship Management Solution, and Public Service & Activism App categories as a civic technology company serving political candidates, elected officials, municipalities, and nonprofits across more than 30 states.
Proximity entered three categories and won Gold in all three. Each nomination is evaluated by at least five judges, and only one organization earns Gold per category. The wins span the full scope of Proximity’s work: Tech Startup of the Year recognizing the company being built, Relationship Management Solution recognizing its technology, and Public Service & Activism App recognizing its mission. The Stevie Awards specifically recognized organizations earning three or more Golds this year, and Proximity was one of just 25 named, alongside companies including Cisco, Deloitte, and IBM.
The recognition reflects how Proximity’s campaign management software has become a central tool for civic and political leaders. The platform brings voter and constituent outreach, contact and relationship management, volunteer coordination, and communications into a single secure system — replacing the spreadsheets, disconnected apps, and aging legacy tools that campaigns, elected officials, and municipalities have long relied on. Proximity now supports candidates, officeholders, municipalities, and nonprofit organizations across more than 30 U.S. states and Canada, giving leaders of every size the operational tools to organize, mobilize, and serve their communities.

We’re building software powering democracy — we’re building something that matters.”
